You're pointing to a task that is basically the platonic ideal of a work task that would benefit from VR and then saying that programmers are the ones who are unusual? The vast majority of normal people's compute tasks for work could be done on an iPad with a keyboard. The vast majority of their compute tasks for play just require a smartphone. 3D modeling is already a huge exception to the norm in that it needs serious compute power and in that people already often use specialized equipment for it, and to top it off it's a task that is actually hampered by using a 2D projection on a flat screen. Most tasks are more like coding than they are like 3D modeling.
