I'd have to say that they can be a commodity - it depends on circumstances. A PM doing "standard" projects, such as relatively straightforward construction or IT ones, following closely an established "template", could well be considered commodities.
On the other hand, PMs doing work where every project has major unknowns, is likely to follow quite different patterns than others, could not really be considered a commodity as they bring a rare, even unique, set of skills and experience different to every other PM, and uniqueness is the complete opposite of commoditisation.
