There is a difference between a series of instructions that maps to machine code nearly directly, and a data format like an image, or factory templates.
The point about algorithms stands - it's not that programs don't contain any because a machine interprets them. I'm referring to the simple fact that program code can be expressed as a flow diagram - but try doing that with a CAD file. You can't, it's declarative in nature, not a series of steps and decisions.
