Different people have aptitudes for different skills.
Very true.
After your doctor has put in a long day at the clinic, do you want him spending whatever spare time he may have reading to keep up with the latest research or techniques, or out in his shop making or fixing stuff, especially when he can afford to pay somebody who needs the work to do it?
Mechanical skills are worthy of respect, but no more than many other abilities.
I like a doc who can turn a wrench.
The surgeon who did my gall bladder, appendix, and hernia repair grew up on a dairy farm. And IIRC, cut logs for a sawmill. At one point, had business cards printed on cherry veneer. Down to earth. I like him. I trust him.
