This is exactly why I plan on moving into a sales engineering role (or some other biz dev role that requires engineering experience) in the next few years. Ridiculous compensation multiplier with soft skills instead of the tech skills treadmill for a traditional engineering position.

You don't have to be an incredible developer to extract value.

From what I've observed, sales engineer is a support role for the salesman and it's the salesman who's getting most of the commission.
