Couple points re this. People attending SM training are often just middle managers learning enough to know WTF their SMs and PMs are talking about in meetings.

Also, there's no requirement for SMs to be coders, it's a role a lot of BAs take on. Some experience in software development context is desirable tho. I found a lot of my SM training relateable to real life. My team went crazy for planning poker because it got a lot of assumptions out early. Standups were impossible because some people started at 1pm, others finished at 4pm. I see Scrum as a bag of tools to apply to teams. Some work, some don't.
