Why do you care about story in games where the story is minor?

With a few exceptions (Zelda is most obvious to me) I don't care about story at all. I am a child of the 80s. I play games for fun, and read books for stories.

For example, even in a largely story based game like the GTA series, I just skip the cut scenes and do the missions. I do not care at all about what is happening to the character.
