The "business machines" in the name did not originally refer to computers. It referred to tabulating machines. The market for tabulating machines died, and was replaced by computers. IBM got out of tabulating machines, and into computers.
IBM is not in the business of selling computers. IBM is in the business of solving problems for other businesses. Over the past 100 years, how you solve problems for other businesses has changed, and IBM has changed along with it. Don't confuse the thing sold for the actual business.
Disclaimer: I work for IBM, but do not speak for it.
