I've read through this a few times and I'm still not sure what makes this specific for coders or how its different from other 4k monitors. Can someone explain what makes this monitor better for the average coder?

3:2 aspect ratio

...Why is that better for programming than other ratios?

It’s 3:2, which historically people said it’s “better” for coding because it allows more vertical space.

Personally I find bigger monitor available today is more than enough vertically. Horizontal space is actually quite useful to be able to put things side by side.
