Well yes, he is an ‘influencer’, but the term ‘tech reviewer’ is more useful. Most people wouldn’t call Roger Ebert an influencer, even though he also had influence over people’s buying power, but it would be more useful to call him a movie critic imo. Call people models, or actors, or by their actual professions that made them famous - they are all technically influencers but why pick such a generic term? Otherwise IMO it’s a non-descriptive title that can be applied to pretty much anything in the public sphere.
