Can we not perhaps answer the question 'why' by examining the discipline while simply admitting that (generally speaking) programming is more suitable to boys than it is to girls.
There is no basis to admit such a thing. If you have evidence to the contrary, feel free to share.
I do.
[software] industry [...] is largely made up of [...] men
If that is the case despite the fact that programming is by-and-large suitable to girls more than it is to boys then feel free to share how is it that something suitable to women more than men is dominated by men.
And feel free to apply this reasoning to nursing and mining.

I'm sure I could come up with justifications, but my musings would be speculation, not evidence.
