I mean… He made www, HTML, URLs and HTTP. Literally everything you used to write your comment he was involved in. I’m sure he didn’t do it entirely alone, we always build on what came before us. But it’s not inaccurate to call him the inventor of the Web.
Also remember the Web is not the same as the Internet.
The Web is websites (HTML pages served over HTTP, which link to each other via hyperlinks). The Internet is websites plus email, VoIP, IRC, Usenet, bittorrent, game servers, FTP, SSH, and everything else that isn’t a website.
Or more simply: The internet is just the network. The web is one of the handful of “apps” that run directly using that network. It just also happens to be able to run apps of its own these days and is a pretty “killer” one at that :)
