Simple, the position doesn’t require technical insight. At all. It should, but it doesn’t.
Comment on Europol chief says Big Tech has ‘responsibility’ to unlock encrypted messages

How the fuck these morons get to chief position? The whole point of a proper end-to-end encryption is that there isn’t a way to “unlock it” so that it can’t be abused.

Idiots failing upwards. A big problem with the current EU setup is that it’s basically all diplomats, and a lot of political administrations use diplomacy as a dumping ground for the people who they want to get rid of because they’re idiots, but can’t because they are too connected.
Also see the person responsible for the current state of the German army become Commission President.
But it’s not unique to the EU, Mark Rutte is NATO chief now.
