I think if you look for job descriptions for a comic editor (IDW's most recent one comes to mind), you'll find that the job description has nothing to do with the above and everything to do with "are we getting books out on time?" Effectively, if you're not qualified enough to get a PMP and make actual money, you can be a comic book editor. It's been this way for decades, it's just that it's easier to detect that now because of the internet's awareness of how this business works.
