Not trying to make a poltical point.

Pick an interest that young white men have. You'll probably find loads of software that caters to it. Pick an interest that an equal number of retired women have. You will almost certainly find a lot less software that caters to it. It is simply because people write software for markets they understand. Most programmers (in my experience) are young white men. A lot less retired women have the skills or motivation to write software.

It sounds like the view of some person with zero experience in the real world of professional software engineering. My experience is the opposite. The USA has a very diverse software workforce.
