So is a screwdriver a tool or a product?
I think you're getting caught up on nomenclature and limited sample sizes.

What it is to you depends on if you want to sell a screwdriver or if you want to drive a screw.
If you're looking for somebody to design a screwdriver for you, you're better off with the guy who wants to drive a screw.
Well I sell various IT systems as products. For example, turnkey TrueNAS systems that were built on refurbished hardware that I/my business personally validated for reliability, and various other metrics. We don't make the hardware, nor the software, but we combine them, validate it does what is expected, and from my perspective that's fair to consider it a "product". How does that line up for you?
