They don't really count
When I said big tech I meant software, not primarily hardware companies. ASML is also not likely to be harvesting our data.
Beyond the easy quip, my point was that "big tech" has taken on a far-too-narrow meaning. I'd bet you didn't really mean "software" either - you were, in effect, referring to the whole amoral (at best) ecosystem of companies which run social media and related web sites and data infrastructure, making their money through addiction, exploitation, and extraction.
Perhaps Cory Doctorow will come up with a better term?
