I think programming appeals to people who don't natively do a lot of emotional display or read emotions well.

Emotional responses and awareness have very little relevance for the acts of writing and testing instructions for computers. Machines don't know or care how you feel.

Thus, people to whom those things seem less relevant often drift towards software development, IMO.
