It may also be based on the premise that if you're doing consultingish work, you're probably not doing it for one of the top tech companies, but more likely for a smaller company that doesn't have dedicated developers.
From prior experience working at a consulting startup, this tended to be the case more often than not. Obviously, YMMV.
