Yeah, the problem is that accountability for PMs is usually missing. No one checks whether the PM is adding or removing effectiveness, so the good PMs go unrecognized and the bad ones keep siphoning energy from the project.
Second, bad PMs just create unnecessary work for everyone around them. Everyone believes they just have to do what the PM says, and then suddenly you have a whole eng team contributing nothing.

I've legit seen a PM deliver a set of requirements 3 days before a deadline and blame the technical team for non-delivery (multiple times!). It sounds so ridiculous, and yet ... it happened.
