I don't think it matters if the technology they use is revolutionary - what's revolutionary when they were made was the actual use of technology.

They are a just very visible example of how using technology could be a business model (which is kinda revolutionary, or at least "disruptive").

It is not even about technology being revolutionary, it's about where they competitive advantage lies. To put it bluntly: SpaceX and likes are technology companies. Uber and AirBnB are "law-bypassing as a service" companies.
