maybe your example of fintech being more fin than tech is a very early sign of what may be happening to the rest of all of these companies that we point to and say, that is a tech company.

I think you're right. It is a reckoning. And the reason for that is because FinTech is one of the hottest spaces during the bubble. I have this saying that the hotter they are, the harder they fall.
