It is a cult, you can test it by visiting their forum and telling them that 3D cursor is an useless feature.
I've been doing some clay sculpting too in the past, mostly bigger scale, then I moved to 100% digital. I miss the physical stuff though.
I've read one of your short stories. Great stuff. Really scary though and it made me hate VR/AR headsets even more. I will definitely return for more. Maybe we could do something together in the future. I'd love to illustrate a dystopian sci-fi story.
