Yes, technical careers can lead to great advancements for humankind. But I'd much rather be part of a well-rounded world that includes actors, writers, musicians and artists. They make the rest of life interesting.

I noticed it too. As someone who is/has been involved with a lot of non-STEM activities over the years, I was a little annoyed at that. They could have said "technological fields are some of the fastest-moving and -developing areas, and we have to keep up with the demand" and not brought other fields into it at all.
