A large proportion of software projects are internal systems which are not being delivered to external 3rd parties. Nor are they online products primarily for consumption by the public. These are the systems that run the world in banking, finance, education, transportation, consumption, production, manufacturing and supply chain amongst others. Stakeholders are internal and a Product Manager role really doesn't apply. I think it important to differentiate between types of software endeavor and much of the discussion here seems to view the software world and the need/role of a Product Manager narrowly.
