Kitsu's basically summed it up. If people want to make a game that's as realistic as real life and they can, there's no reason to stop them. Unless the user isn't aware that it's a game (i.e. thinks it's real life for whatever reason), I don't see anything dangerous or negative about it. People who want lifelike experiences can have them, and those who don't aren't forced to play the game.
It's a matter of personal preference more than "should it be that way", and I don't think anyone deserves to say which is overall "right" or "better". I personally don't play many games that try to be realistic because that's not what I look for in games, but if it was done well and it had interesting mechanics, I might enjoy it.
