Mostly? Maybe, maybe not. Every program has transformational elements, but they may or may not dominate. A rendering pipeline is, but if you are implementing a text editor, you might not be doing many transformations at all.
I feel there's a misunderstanding in how you use "non-transformative" versus how I interpret it. E.g. aren't interactive charts mostly about transformations? (data => aggregation => affine transforms => render the graphics)
