I think you are missing the point of the article, as an ex-engineer shifting to business and strategy, one key mental model change comes from focusing on the "hows" to the "whats and whys" - mentioned at the start of the article. Even if you master data analysis skills (ie. as an analyst), which is completely different than what engineers are trained to do, this is only the "hard skills", which are the least important when it comes to management. Don't underestimate "soft skills" seen in many non-technical PMs. Keep yourself humble, keep learning - if you conquer both hard and soft skills, you are better guaranteed to succeed - evidenced by many ex-engineer CEOs in tech.
