I think this is more accurately "non-contributors", there isn't anything stopping a non-reviewer from watching a specific directory, and there are often cases where a non-reviewer's approval is still relevant (even though `merge-queue` won't respect it as a review). I don't disagree with your point, just wanted to call out that (in my opinion, at least) one does not need to be a reviewer to be in code owners. As an example, I have Zhifei Fang as code owner of some services code he is definitely the expert on despite Zhifei not yet being a reviewer.
