If you’re in a fighter jet and there’s an enemy aircraft you don’t need much encouragement to look at it, whereas with computers people look away from the UI element they are interacting with all the time, for example I’m typing on the iOS keyboard now but looking at the text. Also the number of objects in a fighter jet is going to be rather small so the radius for selection around each object can be large.
