I don't think that's true. For instance, surprisingly many game companies
are, in fact, British.
Anyways, one could come up with tons of cum hoc ergo propter hoc reasons
why some countries seem to produce more programmers and software companies
than others. Maybe it's the education system, culture, economic model,
national identity, secularism, work morale (think of Japan, for instance),
or numerous other reasons.
