I was going to comment on "giving people what they expect" being at the forefront of the problem with movies and TV today but thought better of it so I'll just add this:
A couple more benefits of HFR:
The ability to have action occur while the camera is panning/tilting, since the viewer will be able to track what is happening rather than seeing a blurry mess.
Better sense of actual motion and reality, a positive for many cinema goers. The introduction of sound and colour also incrementally contributed to this.
