I guess pilots could set up a system to practice or have a hobby ..it just seems strange.

Not so strange. Read yesterday at several sources where pilots state it is a hobby for many.

I don’t find the simulator strange because there was a ship simulator where I did duty, it was used for readiness training, maybe not needed now with so much technology. A lot of Reserve Units would use it on the weekend.
