Easy, it reduces the number of "potential buys", if you see something that you definitely do NOT like in the great photography or virtual tours.

I spent a lot of time looking for houses in San Francisco and I began to distrust the brochures because great pictures were made but the house didn't live up to the pictures hype.
Perhaps they facilitate the first look but I began to steer away from the hype and look for the not-so-well photographed houses that actually showed me what I's see when I got there.
True enough; ultra-wide angle shots commonly featured - the rooms look far bigger than the reality. That starts to get a bit irritating.
Yes, most of the photography is done with 10mm to 20mm wide angle zooms, but having bought a home recently, I just looked at them from that point of view. The wide angle lenses were used for increased depth of field under regular light and care was taken with camera angles to avoid unrealistic distortion of size. Having talked to a photographer for a particular real estate company, he pointed out that little or no postprocessing was done because of time constraints.
