If all you are interested in doing is churning out code then that's fine, but we shouldn't consider be promoting you into higher and higher roles Higher roles implies greater responsibilities, not just to the product but also to your team and your company. That means you cannot just be an assembly line code slinger anymore. You have to talk to people, mentor people, figure out what the higher level company goals are, figure out what the product needs to meet those goals, etc None of that just happens without communication skills
