Your visual system does not give you a perfect rendition of reality. It has limitations as far as brightness and contrast ranges, that, as you experienced, contemporary digital imaging has been able to expand beyond.
But, oddly, we don't think of the myriad of transformations and distortions that our eyes and brain impose on our view as misrepresenting reality, even though we can clearly demonstrate cases where that is true (search for visual illusions and you'll have examples by the dozen). We understand those limitations and acknowledge them, but the far wider world of digital imaging, which includes an astonishing level of potential manipulation, is so new that we don't yet understand how to recognize what is, and what is not, reflecting reality.
