I think what you're overlooking here is that this type of content is largely desirable because the "limitations" are actually an integral part of the narrative. It is possible that directors of 3d content simply don't understand yet how to frame the flow of information in 3D media compared to traditional direction, but it's equally likely that this sort of "you get to choose what you see all the time" is actually detrimental to good story-telling. There's a laziness aspect too, in that oftentimes people want to consume content as an exercise in turning their brain "off", rather than engaging more actively. If the content takes more mental energy to consume, people might not prefer that.
