I understand the GAFAM, but is Netflix even in the same ballpark? (It's also extremely dependent on Hollywood, isn't it?) And Microsoft isn't in the Silicon Valley...

Which excludes Microsoft because it was a stock-market term for hot tech stocks, at a time were Microsoft already was "established and boring".
