It's easy to think of tech as being companies that primarily produce electronics or operate information services, but that's not the case. Every company uses (and often creates) technology in various forms that benefit from standards and interoperation.
Connected devices benefit from standardized Wi-Fi. Cars benefit from standardized fuel- both in ICE (octane ratings, pumps) and electric (charging connectors, protocols). It even applies to companies that make simple molded plastic, because the molds can be created/used at many factories, including short-term contract manufacturing.
My point is that every company is a tech company.
Is Amazon a tech company?
And every company is a logistics company?
At the end of the day, everything is sales.
