If the acronym is only about profit then it is both misused and excludes other obvious companies like Microsoft.

It’s not entirely about profit, but I would argue you have to show a profit, or, demonstrate you could show a profit like Amazon has, to be considered a “top company” in any sense.

How does it exclude Microsoft, who reported $8.4 billion net income for Q2 2019?
