I was listening to a podcast about this very question, the guy raised some very great points:
Because the telling of human stories through art is what enables us to exercise our empathetic muscle. If you're watching a movie/TV show, sitting in the theatre, looking at an artwork, we are being told a story about other human people, quite often different from us and we begin to understand and see their point of view and widen our horizons.
