There is a time and place for reality, sure. But, in my experience at least, reality is a bit lacking in possibilities. I don’t know about yours, but there are shockingly few dragons in my town.
In books I have been to the past and the future, to outer space and to worlds that don’t even exist. I have fought bravely, though I am not actually brave. I have been a peasant and a king and a madman. I have loved and lost and wept and laughed and lived a thousand lives to this one alotted to me. Why live only one life when I can live many? Time creaks by so slowly. Why not go on a quest while waiting for the laundry? (However, I don’t recommend reading while cooking, it has proved hazardous ...)
It’s not a question of why, but of why not?
