Ockham's razor - perhaps people don't look behind them for two obvious reasons: (1) People rarely consume movies standing up (2) since you're not standing up, you'll probably be sitting down in which case craning your neck to see the action all the time is painful. Especially for 'pure movies' where there's no interaction with the scene, I think this is equally as likely as decisions by the filmmakers (in unfamiliar territory). When I've played with VR at friends' houses, most of the time we've played sitting on the sofa or sat in computer chairs. There's a bit of craning, e.g. when playing flying games, but often you only need to do a bit of left/right head movement.
