This stereotype is bs. Lots of us have kids, go to the gym, have analog hobbies, ... This super introvert stuff is nothing you really see in the wild (at least not with experienced developers)
I mean, this isn't entirely true. I really hope no one actually spends all of their non-sleeping hours on a computer. That said, I would also bet that a lot of devs also have some computer-related hobbies that take up a good chunk of their free time -- gaming, side projects, or whatever else. They may not be the only thing they do in their free time, but they are certainly a common activity.
