Isn't the thing that non-technical managers lack, perspective? Like how long is it going to take and what is the LOE? You don't get that by being able to write a shell script. You don't always get it from being technical either. I was in a technical role for 5 years before I started managing a team and I still lack perspective sometimes. I don't always see the big picture. I don't always understand the LOE on my asks. I try to be clear with my team that this is one of my limitations and to please call me out on it if I'm missing the mark, etc.
