Your claim wasn’t that many of the biggest US companies by market cap are in finance and tech, but rather than nothing else is profitable. Do you see the difference?

Here's the list by earnings:

It is even more dominated by finance and tech: the list is Alphabet, NVidia, Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Berkshire, Meta, JP Morgan Chase, Bank of America, and then the first non finance/tech comes in at #10 with Exxon. Exxon's earnings are less than 1/4 of Alphabet's.

The reason to prefer market cap over earnings is that market cap includes investors' view of the company's future earnings power, but they both tell the same story.
