Indeed, the basic mythopoetic narrative is an easier method to communicate as we have been doing it for thousands of years. Critical thinking, evaluation to represent reality accurately, is harder, takes more work, etc.
Using imagery to construct a perception of reality has its uses, but it can easily be used to manipulate people.
