Are they? Rakuten is led by a business guru and the products are subpar unless they bought them. Also Japan has a huge deficit of native (software) engineers, so most of the engineers at this kind of companies are Chinese and Indian.
Which companies are you thinking about?
That’s possible, I don’t know about the heavy industries. Checked for Toyota, founder was an engineer, second family CEO was also engineer, third was MBA, current CEO is not from the family and is an engineer. In any case, I don’t think having an engineer CEO guarantees anything, aren’t the GAFAM mostly led by engineers but got enshitifified for short term profit anyways?
