Diorama, Dio-stories, even the "one-shot" are fingers on the same hand. Each has the ability and the beauty of telling a story, be it comical or dramatic.
I think a touch more research was needed, and surely a better cross-section of those that are and have been dio story artisans to show the diversity. Zed is a family man who once was a business owner. General Hawk Justin is an IT professional in a family of such. Some of the dios that I have done for others include military personnel, entertainment business owners, students of all academia, and even a few business housewives.
In the reply I sent to the article shown, the diorama with figures and sets is as old as Egypt. I have seen diorama that were not "war table" pieces at the Met in NYC, as well as a few that were created by the Norse themselves depicting certain memorable voyages and incidents. Like our ancient fellow creative people, we tell stories as well.
The medium of this craft is no different than that of the production miniature and set designer of a large budget movie. When I was looking at sets that inspired me, I was surprised (and a touch envious) that the sets/miniature domiciles made for the Lord of the Ring movies were made from the exact same materials I have used to flesh out many peoples ideas. As I noted in my reply to the article (if approved), an account of that size for creating something we all enjoy is 'life-changing' money.
Pity that those that have shattered the ceiling with their works, such as Jedsoon's Large Army which won accolades were not mentioned. Though it was animated, one cannot negate that it was still created with Joes and sets.
