3) too focused on their personal KPI and time cost, so they book less staff
4) tell engagement x they busy focusing on engagement y, and tell engagement y they focusing on engagement x. end up manager is just slacking

For #2, I cannot speak for every manager. Some of us do go to clients place. I rotate among my portfolio.
Reasons for not wanting to go may include
a) not eligible to claim taxi after promoting to manager. Hence avoid unnecessary trips.
b) unable to teleport from east to west when you have multiple commitments
c) need to be in office to attend other meetings.
d) deliberately playing a good cop bad cop manager so your team will tell client it’s the manager insist on something so client empathises and supports them more.
e) expectation of juniors for managers to treat lunch or buy drinks when they come clients place.
