For one thing, I've never had an office job where it's impossible to get up and use the shitter for 4-5 hours.
I've also never had an office job where fucking up could kill you (not even talking about the enemy, just fucking up a landing or a procedure).
It's also still extremely athletic, despite fly-by-wire, because just resisting the forces involved requires it. Heck, modern aerodynamic design means the aircraft is more than capable of shattering your bones against the console if the fly-by-wire wasn't limiting the G-forces.
And blowing shit up from 30 nm away is still cool as fuck. Can even be a little puzzle, trying to figure out what angle to send the munitions in so they don't blow up some apartment building in the way of the target.
