For me (sysadmin actually) it's because what I'm doing is either simple enough that I can use Nano (editing simple config files) or complicated enough that I'll want a full fledged IDE. I use VSCode and it handles remote files really really well.
Although I have learned a little bit of Vi/Vim because sometimes thats all you have.
Plus if you're doing major changes (like more than editing a line or two) you shouldn't be doing that on a production server anyways. Like if I found out an engineer or dev was primarily working directly off of the server they would probably be on their way out the door. Uptime is worth way too much for that nonsense.
