Can't speak for other games, but there's a LOT of former truck drivers who play Snow Runner.
Back when I was working as a forklift driver, when I broke my leg and was stuck at home on the sofa I really enjoyed driving the forklift around in GTA5 and just moving palettes around.
There are current truckers who play Euro Truck Simulator in their trucks. I've seen it on r/trucksim
Sometimes you just want to do your job without annoying dispatchers, clients or managers, and drivers that actually follow the speed limit.
I mean, pilots do similar things, although probably not while in the cockpit.
I think it's fantastic. I love it.
Human being can be oddly obsessive. In other news, I wish American Truck Simulator was available for PS4 :-/
