Most product management functions should be merged into product design - it's impossible to design a good product without thinking about what features that product should have and how users will use it. I wouldn't eliminate the role entirely but I think most companies have 10x the number of product managers they need to in part because it's a way for non-technical people to get into tech and tech salaries. Now that the market is tightening it's unsurprisingly we're eliminating those roles.
