> By that definition you won’t find many non tech companies.

You will. It's easy. There are thousands of non-tech companies around you. Your local grocery store, laundries, car services, barbershops, etc. They do not hire software engineers, they do not build internal tools. Some of them do rely on third party software, but it's different.

Pretty much every bank is a tech company nowadays. Insurances? Same thing. If Oscar or Chase fires all of its engineers, the business is dead. By my definition, a tech company is a company whose business won't sustain long without its engineering team.
