https://allthetropes.org/wiki/Reality_Is_Unrealistic

Not really going to happen because no matter what people's interpretation of what reality actually is varies heavily and there's the constant drive to insert bullshit into games by investors. We couldn't even get an authentic 15th century bohemia simulator without extreme amounts of marvel humor, feminism and token out of place Jews and a token black saving the country. We only get what financially the industry incentivises.

"However, if I created an 8bit sprite of that very same thing and told you that's what it was, you would not have the same reaction"

That's not true at all. People have the capacity to understand what the imagery represents and treat it as if it was real regardless of what it looks like. Some of the scariest games are the low res games because you have to use your imagination.

And again, we're not going to get immersion because the industry is too infatuated with anything but that.

The problem with this line of thinking is that are basically trying to compute infinity. At which then there is no point questioning what might happen because we are working with a mystery box of infinite possibilities. I'm just pointing out that realistically speaking we are never going to achieve ideals such as too realistic or proper immersion that doesn't rely on innate human belief to accept a hypothetical situation as real. There will always be something else that the industry would rather focus on because its both easier and more rewarding to do that then it is to make the "ultimate" product.

We are a point in time where culture is so fucked that it cannot possibly imagine ancient history without shoving minorities into it. That our most advanced societies are either police states (or rapidly becoming) or have cultures convinced that people who were never important in the country built the country. In 50 years its would be very unlikely for this mindset to have gone away and its effects on making immersive settings is going to last potentially forever. We won't have realistic settings if we still allow without question extreme mythologies like WW2 being fought between prosthetic british ladies and black female nazis. The human brain will detect these incredibly obvious failures and no amount of gaslighting or highly realistic graphics is going to fix that. Technology cannot make up for the lack of enthusiasm, creativity or respect for the craft that the industry will always experience.
