100% - frequently, my only path to giving someone a significant raise is via promotion. They may not want the next title, they may not want to manage, but I’ve often been constrained in being able to offer a better IC title, or to just pay a high performing Senior more.

It was a point of emphasis for me in my last search - commitment to, and belief in, IC tracks.
