That just seems to feed the point to me. Google was competing with organizations particularly created for a new tech market that didn't exist before them. NYC library was maybe the largest player available to consumers? (Before the emergent search tech like alta vista and yahoo that Google disrupted.)
Stripe is a payment processor with the most disruptive automation, competing with other payment processors older than the web. Every industry will be shrinking in people per net work, few industries are new things (at least for the public) enabled by automation.

It sounds like: if they use computers, then they're tech, weird.
I don't share the sentiment, I don't see Netflix in the same group as MSFT / OpenAI / AMD / TSMC.

Are visa and mastercard tech companies? Or wells fargo?

Federal Reserve is a tech provider in finance (ACH, Fednow instant payments, etc).
Google's search engine is technology but you would probably say "isn't that just a researching documents"?
A bit weird how you only deem companies technological if they have released popular OSS or Apple because they produce libraries/frameworks they use internally. Pretty sure all software companies use internal libraries.
