A lot of promotions, even on the IC track, require qualitatively different skill sets. Someone can be performing well in their current role, and the manager could assume they would do well one level up, but if they've never been given the tasks of that level it's really impossible to know for sure.

There are a variety of mechanisms that can be deployed to ensure the person is right for the position. Throwing up your hands and going “well figuring this out is just too hard” is another marker of bad management, lol
