Sure, I can do all of those things.
But I have no competitive advantage doing them. Any time I spend driving the car (O($10)/hour job) is time I'm not spending developing software (O($100)/hour job).
The counter argument to that could be that if I don't enjoy some Dev/Ops task, I'm more likely to automate it away, so maybe it is good to have devs doing tasks they don't care for.

Say a translator with an inside knowledge of a particular industry is worth her weight in gold, ask anyone who had to deal with the technical translations done by non-technical people.
