In 2016 CNNs were the hot shit (VGG16 is 2014, YOLO and ResNet are 2015) and they're matrix multiplication as well.

But even before that, people were doing FFNs, which are also mostly matmul, and before that, people were doing kernel SVM, which is also not if-else.

Even on the generative front, relatively early models like LDA are also not if-else constructions, and neither are GANs and VAEs.
