Even if the entire totem pole of decision makers in a company thinks writing code is the bottleneck doesn't make it true that writing code is the bottleneck.

On the extreme end to prove the point, the suits intentionally abstract out reality into neat forecasts and spreadsheet cells.

It's hard for me to think of something concrete that will convince you. Does code map directly to business outcomes in your experience? Because it's overwhelmingly not even remotely true in my experience.

even just "all lines of code are not created equal" tells me there's no direct correlation with business value.
