The history of the word "tech" as an industry sector is that it has been used to refer to computing technology, but cars are certainly a technology more broadly understood. But we probably should just stick to industry standard jargon. Lockheed and Boeing are definitely technology companies, but not "tech" companies, although that is even further complicated in that they do sell computing hardware and software products, not just airplanes and missiles. Netflix unambiguously only sells entertainment, though. They use an app and a website as a delivery mechanism, but the app isn't the product. Also, as much as the emphasis on hacker news is think of employment by Netflix as being an engineer for Netflix, engineers are very far from the highest paid contracts. No engineer is getting the $500 million deals Netflix hands out to Shonda Rhimes and Benioff and Weiss. Netflix itself recognizes content is king here.
