I would say the world is full of simulations, and while many will try to simulate aspects of the real world, there are just as many simulating completely or at least hugely different things from our world.
At some point a simulation may have the goal to understand the existing world. But once that field has been harvested enough and simulations on that scale have become a commodity people would probably move on from the things "that are", to the things that "could be", or are even impossible.
I work in ATC simulations. After simulating usual aircraft (like Airbus and Boeing), we try to add models for helicopters or seaplanes. Nobody is asking for simulation of flying carpets or UFO.
