I wouldn’t really consider someone that moved from middle management to upper management/executive leadership to be a part of the “capital class.”
Investors, board members, maybe even some CEOs, sure.

If they’re upper management, they are tasked with doing the dirty work for capital. That’s their job.

That doesn’t mean they don’t care though. Now this could come from spending time at a company where the executives were only ~3 levels of indirection from devs.

They would lay you off in the blink of an eye or be instantly fired. “Caring” doesn’t really come into play.
