Insightful post.
Sci-fi writers who try to make a kind of humanist point against the artificial seem to refuse to admit just how much stronger as a stimulus the artificial can be. A faithful husband untemped by any human woman would leave his wife for a hologram girl, just like she would trade him for a handsome vampire, werewolf or worse. It doesn't even matter if one is moderately averse to artifice; the sheer magnitude of the superstimulus can overpower the aversion.
