I think it's the complete opposite - IC was created (rightfully IMO) by technical contributors to reject the idea that the only way to progress in your career and make a bigger impact is to go into management. It's just the recognition of a parallel career path

If that was its purpose it failed. Many (most?) companies have no progression path other than management, but they'll happily call you an IC.
