It makes sense. SF is denser and more commercial; SJ is mostly SFHs and sprawling office parks.

Apple and Google are #3 and #9 on the F500, respectively. The former in particular is located in hardcore Santa Clara County (Cupertino), away from the Bay and surrounded on all four sides by sprawl. Meta (then Facebook) was once headquartered in Palo Alto. Today, it's based in adjacent Menlo Park — technically SF MSA, but culturally still more in the sphere of SJ IMO — and has a large campus in Sunnyvale. I would say Redwood City feels most like the transition point between SF-SJ, and it also happens to be in the middle geographically.
