Can you evaluate what you mean? I thought ELI5 is FOR explaining semi to complicated questions?

Asking why fictional things aren't real is not a complex topic to be explained. The answer is simple and obvious.

Why can't we build space ships like Star Trek? Because we don't know how. Why don't we build robots like I, Robot? Because we don't know how. Why don't we have cyberware like in Cyberpunk: Edgerunners? Because we don't know how.
