Yep.

I've been one.

Thats how I know what I am saying.

Like you're not even challenging what I'm saying really, you admit that most PMs are technically incompetent, because their job is mainly playing office politics.

It didn't used to be this way.

And it still doesn't have to be.

A good PM is someone who actually knows their relevant field, and can also do some office politics, but much more importantly, is a responsible and helpful team leader.

A person with only an MBA just has a degree in how to play office politics and gaslight people.

It's always been that way, and always will be. Most people are mediocre at most things.
