That was my entire point. Netflix has introduced numerous innovations—many of which they've shared publicly—all while not making a dime (to my knowledge) from selling the software itself. Contrast that with a company like Microsoft, where software (either shrink-wrap, or as-a-service) is their core product.

That was the entire premise. Netflix isn't a tech company in the same way banks aren't - technically. But obviously both functionally are since their entire businesses depend on their technology
