If you get past the (awful) stereotypes of programmers as "geeks", you're left with a small data set and no analysis. I'd guess that a significant portion of the entrepreneurs moved to Seattle to participate. Moving to a new city probably cuts down on almost all social metrics (less coffee or drinks with friends, less sex, etc).
I think it's more likely that the cause is the initial high-engagement period that budding startups have. The infographic shows the average workday being 9am-12am. when you're working 15 hour days you don't really have time for anything else, regardless of what town you're in.
