Because it's boring af. The competition is building the better robot, how are you going to do that in a game? Give them the same robot? Give them 20 stat points to place out?
It's like saying "wow why do people go to Monster Jam, just put a vr helmet on" or "racing tracks cost too much, we could just play Forza online instead"
