The end of the video @Timbre posted seems to be suggestive of what might be going on. He goes all dewy eyed & says that if the universe is a big empty void then we amount to nothing whereas if we are in an enclosed (flat earth) system then we are it! The be all and end all (I'm paraphrasing) & humans do so love to think that they are (literally) the centre of the universe. So perhaps it's just people that simply cannot deal with their own insignificance (like most of the religious). What's baffling is that even the ancient Greeks with the technology of a stick in the sand worked out that we live on a sphere long before we had the technology to observe it/NASA/use it to bounce information off of satellites etc or indeed circumnavigate it.
