Well there are notable cases in which the CEO had a critical role in the product development. Larry Ellison coded himself the first versions of Oracle database and was then CEO up to 2014. Shay Banon wrote Elasticsearch and was Elastic CEO for some time.

Perhaps, those are exception that proves the rule?

But whether it is deserved or not, it is never the question when congratulating a CEO for an achievement.
