No, Austin isn't any better. The draw of Austin is it's culture, originally based around it's college and the music and parties it attracted. Today it's still a fairly progressive town based around youth culture. If you want to live in the hillcountry of Texas, there are many other cities with the same geography, but more livable environments.
Maybe, but there is a greater concentration of millionaires in Lampasas than Austin proper. High tech jobs aren't the only way to make a living, and in many cases it's a horrible job in a cubicle.
True. I did taxes in Texas for a while and noticed millionaires located outside of the big cities. But most of these are retired seniors. Or "consultants".
If you're looking to start a career, big cities are better than smaller towns in many ways although small cities can still offer great opportunities for growth and experience.
I've seen truckers, welders and even a few construction workers make 6 figures. And then I've seen actuaries and computer programmers make barely above poverty level.
So yeah, I know that high tech jobs aren't the only way to make a decent living.

I totally agree with the statement and the sentiment. But less likely you'll find a career with good money in it.
Take the Llano for example. Beautiful place. Lack of high tech or financial jobs and careers.
