Why do we care about Frames Per Second so much?

For me personally, so long as the game isn't going 1 MPH and is maintaining a nice speed with a smooth frame rate, I couldn't care less what FPS rate it actually has, but it seems the rest or a very large amount of the community wants 60 FPS or nothing at all. Why do we want this? Does it really make a difference how fast frames are going by in a game so long as it still works and plays well and isn't moving at the speed of a turtle with an anchor tied to it?

  • Back in the day, I used to play Morrowind for hours on end. It was the most engaging, immersive, fantastically fun to play game I've ever experienced. However, for the year or two I consistently played it, about half of that was at 20 fps, thanks to my shitty PC at the time. It was only 2 years later, that I upgraded. I loaded up Morrowind for the first time in ages, for nostalgias sake, and my mind was quite literally put into shock for a few seconds. It was running at 60 - 90 fps, compared to 20. It makes a world of a difference.
