Have you never met a business-school alumnus/alumna that had zero knowledge about the craft of software engineering and software development, still getting a management position?

That is sad, especially wrt the effects on the team mood.

To be fair, same goes with a software engineer turned manager without any guidance, landed there by sheer inertia.
