Job levels are tied to the amount of business value one provides. At some point in one's journey, for most developers, they will hit diminishing returns in terms of what they can provide from just their hands on keyboard contributions.Thus at some point people will tend to either peter out level-wise or need to find ways to augment what they bring to the table in terms of coding.
As an example, senior devs can be spending time mentoring, teaching, and guiding the junior devs in their team/org. Bringing up those around them will often, again not always, provide more business value than what they could have done on their own in that time.

The other replies have told you already this broadly isn't true, so I will ask this: Do you have an example of a company where what I quoted is the truth? Normally promotions are almost entirely political, I'd love to see some examples (or even one) where this isn't the case.
