In fact none of the top 5 largest cities in America are on this list.
NYC is on the list... I must be missing something

Why does it matter where you work if you are in Technology.
Don't lots of people work remote?

Just five metropolitan areas—Boston; San Diego; San Francisco; Seattle; and San Jose, Calif.—accounted for 90% of all U.S. high-tech job growth between 2005 to 2017,

San Jose and San Fran are the same city to me.

I'm currently looking for job in tech and almost half of the job postings I'm seeing seem to be in the Dallas metroplex.
There's a lot of office jobs in general in DFW right now. The tech jobs in DFW are mostly back-office functions for companies either in-house or through consulting firms. It's a ton of jobs but not really on the scale that is going on in Silicon Valley where there's tech companies hiring hundreds, if not thousands at a time.
Similarly, Austin has more of those tech companies with a ton of jobs in software engineering and support, but DFW has more corporate IT infrastructure type jobs that I would be good for.
Not all tech jobs are created equal. When facebook and google opens offices in other locations they are moving lower tier tech jobs out but keeping the higher tier engineers in SV.

Boston is an odd outlier but the other 4 are near Silicon Valley so not surprising
How is Boston an outlier? It’s arguably the academic center of the nation. They have Harvard and MIT, as well as BU, BC, Northeastern, plus being the closest big city to Amherst/Williams/Dartmouth/Bates/Bowdoin

Exactly, tech billionaires aren’t moving to Austin. Their moving the 30k millionaires who work for them to Austin. And if you’re starting a new firm you better be near Sand Hill or you aren’t getting a dime of VC money.

Boston is definitely a startup and incubator hotbed

Stanford and MIT are the shiznit for tech students

The largest cities are ny, la, chicago, houston. Dallas ft worth.
I said Five of the largest cities not The five largest cities. Learn to read.

Another tech hotbed (albeit relatively small) its Pittsburgh due to Carnegie Mellon.
