>How is being good in a particular field of tech _more_ transferable than management skills, which is arguably needed everywhere be it tech or not.

Managers are viewed the same way engineers are when it comes to skill transfer, in that their "expertise" is limited to the field. Which is why it's rare to find managers who made leaps that way across fields, as they always get overlooked in favor of someone who's either already in the field or is ok with switching from a technical role into a managerial one.
