Both jobs can be done by anyone,
But only one of the jobs requires you to have friends and kiss ass. Guess which ?
And do you have any idea how complicated being a product manager is? You have to deeply understand your entire team's footprint, blockers, other teams, industry trends.. It's hard work. Plus you manage timelines and have to de-risk every single day.
I don't think you know what you're talking about.
A factory worker takes a day or week to train.
A product manager takes years to change.
A CEO is learning every single day, doing the PM job for the company + hiring + managing relationships + so much more. If they don't, their company is dead. They're steering a giant ship by wire.
Alot of the same can be said about many startup ceos.
Just take a look at all the crypto startups that made millions in 2017-2018
