What? I guess this question is coming from a developer who has no idea how things work beyond their coding IDE tool.
Typical "frog in a well" mindset question coming from somebody who thinks coding is start and end of everything. Nothing against OP personally but I have come across so many people who think this way and my current company is a paradise for people who think this way. I regret joining.
Anyway, a proper PM/PO role is primarily business (commerce read PnL, marketing, sales) aligned and sometimes domain aligned as well although people emphasize more on latter which has to do more with operations and processes in a certain domain. Product Manager for IT software product companies can get a boost knowing coding or even better - technology but they can do well knowing just IT. If you know the different between the 3 then you will get the answer to your question in the sense that you are looking for.
Product manager who came for development can code but not required as there duties is not for coding but , they are required while developing the features from concept to development in this phase a product manager will work with developer . And if required he may code or else not required but in my things coding doesn't require for product manager based on job duties..
Product management is not only for saas in IT they are in pharma, healthcare , manufacturing, R&D etc .., in between those duties and responsibilities are different based on the role ..,
I don't know why all coders think that coding is the only "real work" and look down upon everyone else who isn't coding.
