Off the top of my head we have had Toyota USA & Kubota leave LA for DFW, Nestle left Glendale, Bechtel which had been headquartered in SF for over 100 years left for Virginia, Fortune 500 company Core Mark recently left the Bay Area for DFW, NTT Data just landed in Plano, Tx. It seems to not stop and the reasons are exactly what you'd think they are.

What's ironic is that of all the ones you named it still didn't include the most important one. DFW also snagged McKesson, Fortune 6 cos.

Austin didn't give Apple any incentives but the state of TX did with $25 million for a campus with 15k jobs.... its pennies compared to the $8 billion WA gave Boeing and $3 billion WI gave to Foxconn to build factories near Milwaukee....
