I'm inclined to agree, but there's maybe more to that: another reason why many technical people struggle with sales/marketing is that they simply assume that sales is all about tricking people into buying stuff they don't need / stuff that doesn't work. So once they find themselves in a salesy situation or role, they might feel like overcorrecting in the negative direction, just to not be salesy.

Being salesy is what bad, incompetent salesmen do.
