Those other processes don't require awareness of the environment.
Yes, I know Chalmers, Dennett and Searle. I got the idea that the brain is for moving from Eric Kandel by the way. No, there's a lot of work to do but I think I've answered the why: It benefits animals to be aware of their
environments to navigate them. All you're seeing is a map of what's going on. It's like a UI in the words of Donald Hoffman. Plants can do it without all this, but not as well.
