I have a suspicion most of the people playing these are office workers, wondering what it would feel like to contribute something tangible to society.

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

Human being can be oddly obsessive. In other news, I wish American Truck Simulator was available for PS4 :-/
