Most .net companies have something to do with a network, no?

some, yes. that was the intent of the domain name.

but that would be like saying that all the .tv domains are sites based in tuvalu.

That is how it used to be but it isn't any longer. .Net is now the go to for any commercial company who can't get the .com -- I think most people are okay with it but if the branding doesn't strongly include .net then the .com will get a lot of the traffic.
