I think modern software companies moves to remove roles like scrum masters, testers and analysts. My theory here is that e.g scrum masters wants to scrum, it’s their job. Much better to have the team take turn being the scrum master. They own the process and the pain.

The non technical scrum master fills a very important role for higher management: somebody to take blame and responsibility.

I've never seen this, I've seen them be some kind of project manager role or just bubbly people who say some BS and convince company to pay them to waste employees time.

In my experience the role of non technical managers is to assign blame to the technical staff.
