I mean thats a pretty big stretch. You can certainly make the argument but I believe they call it casting a wide net.

It's baumol's cost disaease no? rising wages in one sector, have a side-effect of bringing up wages in another.

I agree that its possible but it seems to be the authors trying to cast a wide net via hypotheticals. Its easy to say its possible - but without any evidence its heresay, and within a paper like this its about trying to show the widest and broadest potential wage suppression possible.

It seems sloppy to me to be honest.

I mean I know a lot of people who explicitly decide between sectors early/mid career.

Tech vs consulting/finance for MBAs, tech vs. HFT for SWEs, tech vs. advertising for creatives, etc etc
