I suspect the most likely but least realized reason for it has to do with the amount of fully in focus detail a camera takes in vs how your eyes actually focus on things out and about. the FOV of the average person is about 135 degrees but within that field you can only focus on one specific smaller circle within the field at any given time. Your eyes will focus on one point within the field and everything else becomes peripheral vision which becomes less focused radiating out from your current focal point. The average 28mm camera lens can focus to infinity and have everything it captures sharp. When you watch that on a tv your eyes are taking that wider amount of detail in on a screen which lies fully within the focal point of your eyesight….. I hope I explained that decently.
