I would agree with you if these were complimentary skills we're talking about. However, programming and UX design are almost contradictory.
For programming, you need a mathematical inclination, attention to detail, willingness to sit down and focus on one concrete task at a time, etc. For UX (and any kind of other) design, you need more an ability to create art - paint with broad strokes, look at the big picture, etc.
This is my opinion, YMMV, feel free to disagree, etc
