Blurry boundaries do not mean no boundaries. Amazon, with their AWS services is squarely a tech company. Netflix arguably a bit less than say above-mentioned Amazon, but they do heavily depend on technology and innovate in that sphere, however are certainly less tech company than Xilinx, Motorola or International Rectifier, but certainly more than Domino or Papa Johns.

Netflix are a Media company.

They leverage some damn impressive technology, but their business is about delivering media for end user consumption, much like any of the TV companies during most of the 20th century, for example.

They can be both. I would not myself call Netflix call a tech company, but many people would, and I kinda see why. Munchery-punchery, OTOH are not technical at all, but certainly are hip.
