Arent they 100% tech and nearly 0 physical products?

That is not what I learned 'diversification' is.

Your definition of diversification is flawed.

Their customers are diversified not only across product sectors, but across the globe. Unless internet traffic or engagement drops, which it hasn't yet and probably won't until a new technology replaces it, they don't need physical products to make the billions upon billions that they do.
