I think you don't understand what motivates a lot of science fiction authors. Sure, there are a lot of science fiction novels that are really just science themed fantasy, but there are also a lot of authors that love real science and are trying to make stories about realistic interpretations of its potential effects. To say that science fiction authors don't care about interpreting the Torment Nexus in a realistic way misses the entire point of a lot of really good science fiction.
