Not at all. Companies have a need for all kinds of services unrelated to their main purpose. Technology is just another service. In many cases it is important for them to have software departments, but that has been true for a long time. For example, banks have for more than 30 years relied on technology departments to do business. For all this, banking hasn't become part of the tech industry, and never will because this is not their purpose.

Technology is "just another service" in the modern economy like oxygen is just another element found in our atmosphere.
