What a fun question, Sean. All of these are factors for me.
Growing up in Catholic school and listening to the priests (speaking and singing) and of course the pipe organ in the Cathedral. The rolling quality to that reverb is something I have seldom heard in an artificial reverb.
Much later, on an early visit to a studio hearing the tape stop during a mix and hearing just the reverb tail... this made a huge impression.
"Coming of age" in the technology obsessed late 1970s and the reverb drenched 1980s fueled the obsession with sculpting space. Getting an Electrical engineering degree was simply more gasoline on that fire.
Discovering object oriented DSP construction software which allowed me to quickly test theories and produce the 'echos in my head' that had eluded me until then.
