Fiction is more prolific that fact... EVERYWHERE.
As a boy growing up I couldn't understand why anybody would enjoy reading fiction. I was obsessed about knowing factual things, how to tie a fishing knot, the best way to track a deer, what PSI concrete and what reinforcement pattern was necessary for a footing etc.
I never understood fiction as a young man.
As my factual knowledge grew, and Collegiate continued to force fiction upon me... it became clear that escapism is most important to a vast majority of people.
I have always been a maker, I know no other way, it has cost me dearly in my life. I do not claim victimhood in this status, but for certain I am a minority.
