It should be called "everythingforce" instead of Salesforce. The features have grown so wide and deep that even CRM is just a small sliver of what Salesforce is. It has its own server side language ( APEX ), a front end framework (Lightning), a community builder/site hosting thingy ( Community Cloud ), and "custom objects" and relationships (think a user defined schema ). If you wanted to you could use Salesforce as a hosting platform for any web application.
