Are developer roles sustainable?

In the long term, can I make a good career by just being a developer? My POV: In market, business matters more than technology. Selling the product is more important than creating it. I understand that eventually I will be valued for my industry experience and the ability of managing people and business. Is there any other way where I can stay in IT industry and keep on working in innovation and creation?
