Some of the most important jobs in tech don't require coding skills, they require problem-solving, planning, due diligence, and operations skills. A great tech lead or department manager merely asks the right questions and gets people to do the right things at the right time. Most of the non-software-dev roles have various skillsets and can be huge assets if they can think about the big picture and put decisions/work into better context.

And actually now that I think of it, just reading the documentation of tech is a huge benefit. You can know more about some tech than a software dev purely because the dev may never have read all the docs and aren't familiar with all its capabilities. Architects for example are voracious readers and don't really write code.
