It made sense centuries ago. Imagine living a simple peasant life being a dirt farmer or whatever, then entering a building full of stained glass, precious metals, and/or tile mosaics that glow in the sunlight. It would make you feel like you'd entered a divine realm. I mean, it still can, but we get pretty calloused to that stuff after being immersed in modern technology.
