Intuit is not "big tech". It's not even "tech". If computers and internet were not a thing, Intuit would work mostly the same way - their business is scraping money between citizen and the sate, and lobbying politician into keeping a broken system. That's not tech in any way.

Other "big tech" companies would not even exist.

> It's not even "tech"

Intuit most certainly is a tech company. They make web and desktop software. This semantic argument is a distraction.

Cool counterfactual. Not relevant in this discussion.

Doesn't a company have to be at least slightly sexy to be called "tech"?

I was firmly on the side of "Intuit is a tech company", and then I read this comment, and then I had a hearty chuckle, and now I think I may be on the side of "Inuit is not a tech company."
