Thank you for pointing this out. Even within the dev-team side of game production (leaving out legal, marketing, sales, operations etc) the coders are typically 1/3 or less of the team size.
Programmers can pivot (with varying amounts of friction) in to other areas of tech. For the designers, testers, producers and artists there are fewer options to use their skills outside of games.
