Because they are hypocrites. They talk about making tech accessible for everyone and how anyone can be an entrepreneur, etc.. yet they will only support people from tier institutions.

Yes! Comparisons exist for pointing out the similarities between two things and inviting some "compare and contrast" critical thinking.
Comparisons don't have to assert equality, which is why people that say things like "Godwin's Law" are the worst. Either you can articulate the difference between an aspect of the Nazi regime and whatever you're arguing for, to move the conversation onto those differences, or you can't. Godwin is only useful when the conversation has run it's course and devolved into a flamewar.
You're already implicitly comparing the two when speak dismissively of the idea of "comparing" them. There are better ways of nipping a tangent in the bud.
