I'm not sure if this will help, but there are a lot of ex software developers who move into different roles at software companies. Support, Customer Success, PreSales, PostSales, People Management, Project and Program Management, Technical Marketing, Marketing, Sales, etc.

Even people who enjoy coding don't necessarily want to do it as a job, and they find themselves happier in roles where their software skills are a bonus to whatever they do for their job.

I think an an easy analogy is being a doctor. Just because you went to medical school and enjoy helping people feel better, doesn't mean you enjoy the day-to-day of being a doctor. Lots of people would say a doctor is crazy for not being a practitioner anymore because becoming a doctor means having a well paid and highly coveted job in lots of places. But people do give up practicing as a doctor and do other things.

There's a pretty big world outside of software development. If you don't want to do it, then don't do it.
