I think this ideas comes from the lack of careers that are so openly talked about that also have so much latitude for improvement and improvisation. Many professions have been turned into assembly lines, button pushing, and quality monitoring. The craftsmanship of many jobs has disappeared.
Programming is only widely open and publicized via the internet, it's natural for people with computers to have a greater presence on the internet.
However if you talk to someone that practices a craft,like carpentry or brewing, you will find a similar drive and passion to learn the techniques, soft skills, and hard skills that are required to be great. It's really about craftsmanship, not about software.
