I mean FAANG stands for Facebook, Apple, Amazon, Netflix, and Google. So they've always been one.

I know that the N stands for netflix, but like, why did people considered it important enough to be in the name? It sounds to me like microsoft deserved that spot

That's a good point. I'm not sure why Microsoft doesn't get a spot there. I think when the acronym was made these were the tech stocks that were growing like there's no tomorrow, whereas Microsoft just always has steady growth, and isn't as sexy.
