Well not completely. DePalma has his own visual/technical style and his own black comedy persona in film. EVERY director of DePalma/Scorsese/Spielberg’s generation was influenced by Hitch, but they do have their own styles now.

But out of those three, DePalma was the one most influenced by Hitch. Spielberg took his style from Kurosawa and old Westerns, while I believe Scorsese was a Hawks fan and also a fan of old gangster films (don’t quote me on that though).
But I see what you’re saying though. DePalma is more of a direct influence on Tarantino visually speaking, but in terms of story and ways to build suspense Hitchcock is more of an influence in general. If A = B and C = B, then B = C.
