That's true of a lot of standup comic jokes that rely on generalizations. Because they're generalizations.

Tech is pretty diverse these days, so that isn’t hard to achieve. If they lean on big corporate tech, though, I think that can provide a lot of relatable laughs. But really, that’s already true without a roasting comedian (like with Trump, the memes write themselves).

Apply in what way? That John Mulaney could write a joke about it? He has literally dedicated his life to that skill. Of course he can.
