Two reasons:
First, it's a game like any other. You have rules, a goal, obstacles, and a reward (however paltry). As the Japanese have clearly proven, you can wrap literally any skin around that framework and make it work.
The second reason people play games based on mundane activities is so they can behave in ways that would get you thrown in prison or committed to an insane asylum in the real world. I suspect every last male who has played The Sims has behaved like a little boy with a magnifying glass and an anthill on a sunny day, at some point or another.
