I should say that on the flip side, one of the most talented devs I worked with received a finance degree from his university and then went into development because he didn't want to manage people or spend every day cold calling prospective clients. He had been at an employer several years before me and while I was definitely understood product and design better due to my own background, that guy was fantastic at being able to drill down on hard topics and come up with functional solutions that scaled. I was a fierce advocate of his for awards and promotions until he left to go somewhere else where he wouldn't be siloed into the hard jobs.
