Engineering ability has nothing to do with product management; critical feedback from engineers is even usually met with "Well, that's because you're not the customer." or "You just don't get the vision.". And, to be fair to them, their rate of failure is probably no worse than the odds of a tech startup failing (90%?), it's just more visible because anything a FAANG releases is trumpeted with fanfare. All that the high level of engineering talent at FAANGs allows is for bad product management to drive themselves off a cliff faster. (But at least the engineers get paid handsomely for it.)
