Imagine how popular a chess program would be if the computer played by different rules.Seems reasonable to me, though I might have caveats on how much money is spent.you spent loads of money on a sim racing rig but you only play single-player?
In many sports and competitions people hone their skills and practice by themselves rather than against human opponents. I can understand playing against AI players as a desirable middle ground, and can understand wanting better AI than it sometimes is.
In some video games AI opponents don't play by the same rules as a human player nor are subject to the same in-game physics. When this happens in a realistic racing game, the realism is spoiled along with any competitive satisfaction one might obtain from winning or losing.
Given advances in neural networks, it should be possible to create opponents that drive like a human, make similar mistakes and are subject to the exact same physics. Maybe video games will get better again once RAM is back in stock.
