Because as depicted in scf-fi, VR would be amazing. The ability to plug-in, or walk onto a holodeck, and frictionlessly experience literally any experience, in perfect, complete sensory detail. Believing people wouldn't want that means disregarding human nature entirely. The problem with VR/AR is that they anything but frictionless or perfect. They are expensive, uncomfortable and limited. They are a million miles away from what's depicted in sci-fi and likely will be for decades, perhaps hundreds of years. If anything, the sci-fi dream works against them by illustrating just what a stark difference there is between fiction and (artificial) reality.
