It is not easier building a world electronically than it is doing it in a book, or with pen and paper RPG system. There is more power, and greater capability to make something that can be more engaging, but it isn't easier. Also, there is a theoretical audience of millions with electronic format, but the audience is smaller than with either books or movie or TV. The thing about other mediums than electronic/videogames is they market is bigger, and it is also easier, to produce something else than a game. If you talk world building/sandbox, look into what it costs to get an MMO or sandbox game, and you see that it just is not the same.
