Right, they enable people to communicate with each other. It simply doesn't matter how "they" communicate.

Like Ford's job is to build cars for people to get from A to B. Who cares how well the executive team at Ford can drive, that has nothing to do with making a good car.

And yet the main reason Elon is famous and rich and owns Twitter is because he is a very successful communicator and Twitter's most adept user.

I think you will find that the people who work at Ford are, by and large, "car guys" (/gals/thems).

The dude also has Asperger's.

And personally, when I'm getting stuff done I don't really care about punctuation and spelling in the email I send to the VPs saying I got the system backonline and saved $10M in billing for the month.

My meeetings with major OEMs in the US has sadly been the opposite. All the car enthusiasts were replaced with Marketing people long, long ago (which again emphasizes my point that actually doing is much more important than marketing that doing)
