Why not? There are all sorts of extremely popular business and government simulation games, dating all the way back to Lemonade Stand on the Apple II to SimCity, to Railroad Tycoon, to Sid Meier's Civilization series. These guys are just doing it in real life.

The same applies for engineering and research jobs: why play Kerbal Space Simulator when you're capable of building something amazing in the real world?

I guess I'm of the mindset that if you'd still be doing it even if no one paid you then it isn't work.
