(I'm a manager.) One big thing this overlooks is helping people learn: management is almost an ideal job if you enjoy teaching and watching others grow. Your "product" is the team you build.
Well, I think there's a lot to learn about management then. This makes it interesting. Nobody in my family (even extended) works in tech and the places they work at management exclusively means managing people by giving them work and taking back product. Also micromanagement.
I'll have to experience it once I get into a job (starting this July). Thanks for the insight.
