Because many valve amps (and some solid states) reach their respective sweet spots right before the speaker starts to excurse. There are manufacturers who actually make devices to lower the volume on these amps because the amps don't have natural settings that sound good at those low volumes. It has nothing to do with wanting to turn it up to 11.
As far as whether amp sims sound good, I'm pretty sure every major amp sim has a demo of some kind you could listen to. Have you listened to a few of them? Did they sound convincing to you?
