I'm the original author, and I certainly believe that there are all kinds of great CEOs. What I am saying in this article is that software engineering CEOs are breaking out due to the super-infrastructure that is software, and that guys like Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos are using software to speed the value fulfillment cycle -- see https://iism.org/post/glossary-value-fulfillment-cycle-68

I mean i think its clear what you're saying, the evidence you provide just doesn't support your conclusion all that well compared to the other possibilities.

Software ceos correlate with software companies. Correlation does not equal causation.

This would be easy to prove if SE are disproportionately represented as CEOs in non software companies. My bet is this is not the case.
