> I'm not sure if this is intentionally obtuse, but yes "tech" as a slang term doesn't mean "technology", it describes a type of company largely known for the prowess and scale of their user-facing software. This includes such entities as Facebook, Google, Apple, Microsoft, Netflix, and Amazon, but is not inclusive of course.

Except I would argue that Apple is known more for its hardware than its software.

Also, I believe most people don't give a second thought to Netflix's software. It's the content they think about first.
