That's your opinion but let's be real about what is actually taking place vs what is going on in the NHL or any major sports league.

Why is "real physical space" such an important factor in how compelling a game is? If I go to a soccer field and juggle a ball by myself, is that compelling because it's "actually taking place".
And if you want to apply that kind of reductionist description, sports are also meaningless. Hockey is just some guys using sticks to slide a piece of rubber around some ice.
