That's just, "economic activity," but weirdly disregarding economic activity due to any of those "big tech" or "financial centers." It is obvious that millions of people (likely billions) are using the "big tech" and "financial centers" and find them to be useful goods and services. Same for service economy. I don't get this point at all.
