I think the distinction is "programming" refers to just dictating some code from scratch. "editing code" refers to changing code that is already written.

For the former ("programming"), there are many commands that can be used to rapidly output code. For example, a user can say "funky hello world" to get something like

function helloWorld() {

}

But if you're trying to edit code that already exists, it can be a challenge to do so without a mouse and keyboard, in part because you need to do a lot of navigation.

I personally believe Cursorless solves that problem better than a keyboard and mouse, but I have to imagine I'm a bit biased on that point :)

Yes, exactly right. The vast majority of programming is editing code, and cursorless allows you to A) Navigate code quickly and B) do things using less navigation than you could with Keyboard/Mouse.
