Agreed in general, but I am specifically not talking about technology used to improve processes or help a company move up the learning curve.
I was trying to offer an explanation of what separates out "tech" companies and not trying to get into the nitty gritty of the fact that many companies use technologies. I would argue that a manufacturing company whose innovation is a more streamlined assembly line to product some widget is not a "tech" company in the sense that many people on hacker news use the word.
