Semi-related question since people have shown counterexample for OP’s question: Are there English sentences where the tone goes up at the end, but is not a question? I can’t think of one.

That’s a sexist stereotype, but it’s true for anyone feeling really unsure about their statement. You don’t even have to change the note at the end of the sentence. Could just trail off… or add a whole new half sentence like "thoughts? "
