iIRC it's just because we're used to the lower framerate in movies. If you look up some 60 FPS videos on YouTube you'll notice how much smoother it looks.
Personally, I'd wish sports broadcasts would be in 60 FPS by default. Often the action is so fast that 30 FPS just isn't enough to capture it all.
Higher framerates make things look more real.
This is fine if what you're looking at is real, like a football match, but what the likes of The Hobbit showed us, is that what you're actually looking at Martin Freeman with rubber feet on. And that was just 48fps.
24fps cinema hides all those sins. The budget of the effects department is already massive. It's not ready to cover all the gaps left by higher framerates.
Even in scenes with few effects the difference can be staggering. I saw a clip from some Will Smith war movie (Gemini Man, I think), and the 120fps mode makes the same scene look like a bunch of guys playing paintball at the local club.
