Why the down-votes? Is this a matter of opinion or scientific fact?

I agree with you here but would put the 80% number closer to 50%

That seems reasonable. I think a primary part of my point however is just how common of thinking it is that ones look

So very true. Even today people still conflate fitness with appearance.

Look at the NFL, MLB and the human population in general. Some people tend to be more lean, more muscular... some tend

True, but again, the VS models and Taysom Hill's are the OUTLIERS

Yes, but MOST look fairly similar outside of height differentials

One might suggest that genetics led to those team members being successful

Perhaps, but in high school ANYONE makes the team on some of these sports. No

I work in the fitness industry and I'd put it lower than 50%

Lifestyle and environment impacts gene expression.
