That's because almost nobody (yourself included) takes simming seriously.

A lot of people do, including many real-world pilots--at least those with open
minds. There is much to be gained from simulation.

I have enjoyed tremendously both my work on MSFS with both Microsoft and
other designers in the sim community. I find the program has many
educational and practical uses in the real world of aviation if used
properly by creative instructors.
In addition to the practical side of the sim , I have also been
fortunate in that some of the finest designers connected with MSFS have
created exact virtual replications for me of several aircraft I have
flown and been involved with personally during my career and I have
these aircraft appearing exactly as they existed and looked in real life
even to their tail numbers in the sim to enjoy, allowing both my family
and friends to experience a bit of my tenure in aviation.
