this is a valid definition of “working class,” (I.e. non-owners), but it’s not how the phrase is typically used.

This phrase would include any non-owner professional like lawyers or doctors or even upper management.

On top of that many tech workers don’t fit even your definition because equity is often an important part of comp. That’s not the case for lawyers or doctors or management in other industries.

Using standard and customary vernacular, tech workers are not “working class.”

Yeah, this group is called professional class, not working class.
