Managers and executives are critical to the operation of the company though, companies aren't just hollow shells full of workers and machines.

You are technically correct, in the literal sense that managers and executives have work to do.
It should be noted, however, that it is the workers (not the company owners/investors) that create all the products that are up for sale and the infrastructure necessary to begin production (e.g., roads, bridges, electricity, education, etc.). Hence, when a CEO say that they "built" the company, they are obfuscating the exploitation of the labor of workers who transform raw materials into all the useful commodities we enjoy.
managers and executives are workes too, and noone is saying they do no work. But their value is greatly inflated. Aswell as them taking all the credit for work of others. But in the end the worst are the owners and investors who litteraly just steal.
But they don't necessarily have to earn so much more than the average worker.
ahh but how else would you ensure they are ready to push their team beyond reason?
