I have seen this too. At a certain level, there are the "managers of managers" that disdain use of tools themselves. So as to never actually do any work.
So, in the unlikely event they are required to, say, present a new strategy upwards, they simply delegate the entire task to an underling. From strategy to powerpoint presentation. Served on a platter, so to say. Of course they take the kudos, and point fingers when things don't quite work.
In an ideal world the strategy would be developed by a team and lead by the manager. But this way, the manager, WFH, sits on the deck of his house working on his suntan.
Unable to log in to teams on the phone during a crisis, because of "technology issues" but able to post to social media with his new squeeze during said crisis is another skill.
