This model wouldn't seem to explain why eg Google and Facebook have world-class security. You can think whatever you want about the stuff they do intentionally, but I don't think leaving yourself open to hacking is that sound a business strategy for anyone, and I don't think it's a coincidence that more technically-competent companies also tend to be more secure.

Google and Facebook both started life as tech companies.

Virgin started life as a one-man job hawking records out of a wheelbarrow.

Virgin is not a tech company. Their model is not centered around technology, but content.
