Uber and AirBnB next.

I still don't quite understand why a "taxi" and a "hotel" company are considered tech companies.

I don’t quite understand how MargotRobbie is on Lemmy moderating an android community.

Learned it during her Quinn years?

The tech bit just seems to be the ability to slurp money out of other people's industries, while avoiding all regulation and responsibility.

You can stick the food delivery people with them.
