I would imagine that's because in this field as with some others, what you're doing at one rank often bears little resemblance to what you're doing at another.

In military terms (since for some reason that seems like an easy analogy) there are some great privates who make lousy sergeants, and great sergeants who make bad field officers, and some great field officers who make lousy staff officers.
