I think basically every ATC Sim guy I know has actually applied to be a flight controller so my question is more what hidden applicants they're even looking for there

I was that way with emergency management games, but it turns out fire departments are mostly being repeatedly traumatised while sleep-deprived. It was such a bad transition from something that's fun because I can restart without consequence to something where it's fun in the way that using cocaine would probably be fun to me for the first month. There's even a culture of rejecting your wins and feeling any kind of positive brain chemicals from it because that makes you respond just as negatively to losses.
