It makes a big difference in the aggregated analysis of the IPO market. Tech is one of the few IPO areas that actually come close to matching the S&P500 returns (tech did better than any other IPO category). So, most companies going public want to be considered and valued as "tech".

For them wouldn't a tech company and a software company be synonymous? It seems like software is by far the easiest way to create the growth they're after.

Cool, so it doesn't really matter.
