I admittedly have a small sample set of two commercial pilots, but they're much like any other corporate workers.

Once they're home they crash-out and relax. Make a meal, have a shower. Check Facebook.

Their day job is pretty boring* and they're not particuarly interested in replicating it on a computer.

* where did you fly today? Oh, a runway in Portugal and another one in Malta.

This particular pilot made instructional flight videos for YouTube on his home flight simulator. Not everyone hates their job.

My sample is clearly biased, but a lot of people in my flying club fly for a living with airlines or the military, then come fly some more in a recreational capacity with the club.
