The word is used to describe companies which tend to be overrepresented in tech communities compared to industry baseline, not tools.

As for "industry-standard tools", I find it hard to use this term in our industry. There's a diverse range of practices and recommendations.

Git is popular in some subset of the industry (around web in particular), but I'm hesitant in calling it an industry-standard tool. I don't know if there are estimates around the size of it, but there's plenty of proprietary 'shadow' tooling and practices hiding under the surface.
