Who cares? I don't understand the desire for photorealistic games. I play to escape reality. The most immersive games for me are far from realistic-looking. Doom2 and Quake are still a blast. I think Uncanny Valley would be just too jarring a place to lose myself.
There's plenty of games whose attempts at being as realistic looking as possible are integral to making them immersive as possible, which helps them as escapism: BF, CoD, Skyrim, FIFA. Things like better AI should be a higher priority but it seems wrong to question who cares. A lot of people. Most people, I'd say.
