Not only is the term loosely defined, but it is not clear why it needs to be mutually exclusive with some other category. You can't be a tech company and some other thing at the same time, apparently.

Who uses the terms this way? I’ve never heard anyone imply that, for example, Apple is a tech company but not a smartphone company. Edit: see also "biotech," "fintech," "edtech," etc.
