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.

What hz ranges are normally sent to a sub?  Do subs generally do an inferior quality vs a high end main?

i like my 12 inch sub for rumbling effects during a movie but as far as quality, my mains may do better.

Have noticed that newer speaker cabs are including smaller drivers. Mostly cause people want smaller spkr footprints.  Of course this impacts fullness and quality of bass from main speakers.  
To solve problem, dealers advocate subs.  Marketing genius.
More boxes higher sales.  
My older speakers have larger drivers and fill room so much better.  Imaging not as good but very nice to listen to.  
Size of drivers matter for bass.
