Take a look at EmacsConf talks and count how many talks are not programming related. Start delving into the speaker's backgrounds as well. Hang out at the Emacs subreddit and you'll see a similar trend. Follow Sacha's weekly Emacs news and you'll see a similar trend. Some of the authors of very well known Emacs packages don't do programming for a living - in fact quite a few learned programming just so they could improve Emacs for their own needs. Protesilaos is practically a legend these days. He went from no programming or Linux knowledge to expert level in a very short time.[1] His background is in philosophy, law and economics. The author of helm, one of the most popular and possibly the most powerful completion package in Emacs, is a ski instructor. Although I learned Emacs primarily to code, I myself did not use it primarily for programming for the first 5 years. I was using it for email and org mode, and did my programming via Visual Studio. The number of people who primarily use it for org mode is huge. There are plenty of people who code in anything else (vim, VSCode), but use Emacs just for magit.
