You could argue that spitting out some pixels on a CRT has about as much to do with rendering millions of polygons into multiple frame buffers and collecting the whole thing into a digital image to output over HDMI.
The OP makes a decent leap in terms of “things that move us away from the ground”, I don’t have a problem with it, even if there are a handful of big changes in methodology along the way.
I mean, if we take your caveat at face value we end up with some combination of the Concorde, a F-35, the A380 and a remote controlled drone. Honestly, the point stands just as well.
