It is a part of the product but I’m not sure I agree it is a straw man. (Side note I just realized the …absolutely no one… meme labels this fallacy!)
In music, few artists can count themselves as capable songwriters, producers, instrumentalist and vocalist recording artists and live performers.
Yet the front page of Rolling Stone is generally reserved for those on the tail end of the full stack of talent described above.
To continue the parallel, in SWE engineers are generally compensated better than non-technical product folks.
