Should people with no turntable or reel to reel be considered audiophiles?

Yes - but a Loaded question....
Age and financials play a part. Someone young today likely does not have a big vinyl collection. Older generations do and prize them.
An audiophile enjoys music and makes it the best sounding experience with the best equipment they desire and can afford. It's not a status symbol, however it is for many. To each his/her own. 

Got to have the on ion.

A real audiophile drives McLaren, because he can sit in the middle

Stupid questions for both the audio and Porsche products. When the Cayenne 1st came out, most Porsche owners thought this way, that was 15 or more years ago. No Porsche owner feels that way now. Same goes for analog vs. digital. 

It might be said there are different levels of the audiophile hobby.
Level 1: digital 
Level 2: vinyl
Level 3 : tape (15 ips)
Im a level 2 that can’t afford level 3.
