Why so obsessed with bass?

Such a obsession to deal with bass issues.  Why is this?  
On a sub if there is too much rumbling simply turn it down.  
As far as mains these probably are not much of an issue for most of us.  However for bookshelves speakers it makes sense they really aren’t well designed for lower range frequencies.

last time i checked bass and sub bass were part of the audible audio frequency range :) arent we obsessed with how everything sounds?

but seriously bass is the most difficult part of the frequency range to reproduce to an audiophile extent. it requires the biggest speaker drivers and enclosure volume, the most amplifier power and is most prone to room boundary and volume interactions, non linear reflections and frequency cancellations.
get it right and it is rewarding as heck.  
and you ask why the obsession?
