As an IC you can't tell other teams managers or higher ups or PMs to fuck off if they call you directly and tell you they think what you are doing isn't good. Or if they ask for unreasonable stuff. At least without fear of getting fired. A manager needs to prevent this from happening

So the problem managers solve is the problem of there being other managers?

Don't forget sales/marketing overpromisers and nosy executives who get in the developers' hair.
