Thinking of lots of EMs I've known or worked with who used to code, across quite a few companies, its really a factor of their tenure in role. At first a bright young engineer IC taking the EM track will try to keep being an engineer and keep coding. But with time they get bored with this and realise it has no correlation with how their manager measures their success etc, and they get over that fad and coast. YMMV.
I used to think I had low quality EMs because they didn't have an IT background. However I started coming across EMs with IT backgrounds that had completely checked out of anything technical.
They'd let their source control licence lapse giving them an excuse to not get involved in shutting down long running PR debates, suggest they can only get involved in a discussion if we were still using XYZ dead language/stack from two decades ago.
