I've definitely seen a number of consulting companies follow this pattern. This is one successful business pattern, no reason why more devs can't do this.
However, someone needs to be the sales person and moves away from programming. Does that happen in law offices as well? (I believe so, but that is mostly from reading, not first hand experience. See also https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/rainmaker )
