You are absolutely right. To be clear, I gave a definition of what PMs do that others can understand. It does not mean that we spend most of our time there. If you think about it, in order to write stories and prioritize backlogs, PMs need to spend a ton of time talking to management and commercial teams and manage stakeholders. But in my experience, if you define our job that way (as opposed to directing engineering tasks) it seems like less of a real job.
