Those are not engineers then, they're managers.

It's strange to see this confusion when it comes to software. Any other discipline and you wouldn't say engineers that don't do any engineering are the best engineers.

They are still ICs, not people managers.

Project management != people management.

Either way, IC means primarily a producer of work product, not a manager.

Project management!= manager. And your PM/PO whatever won't coach your junior devs...
