I am a retired project manager, and what you state makes no sense..
A project manager is usually an engineer or equivalent, and is intimately familiar not only with the project but the associated industry.
Your ignorance is staggering
“Your ignorance is staggering”
I agree.

You saved me some time. You are correct.
I too was an engineering Program Manager for many years at a large aerospace company. Picking a team, choosing the team leaders, knowing and communicating the goals, strategy for success, the budget and time constrains, and the overall team progress to the team and the senior management is what Program Managers do.
Having worked in government / DoD for 38 years in engineering and defense acquisition so I am intimately familiar with many PMs. No not all PMs are bad but there’s a huge percentage that are. Their goal in life is promotion not the project.
It also depends on the field the PMs are working. Just had a retirement home built and went through 3 PMs during the 12 month process. Nice people all three but nice doesn’t get shxt done. They were clueless on what was being built for me. They referenced the wrong design plans, old design plans, not following the detailed items list we had picked out per the home builders sit down, they just put in standard builder crap which had to be removed and redone taking a 6 - 8 month project and turned it into 12 months.
Not sure what you retired from but my inference is based on years of experience in the filed I worked in not to mention the retirement home.
