The reason is that people by nature are myth-makers and they turn everything they can perceive into a myth. Thus all things posses mythical capabilities, like a room for a example. You might not know anything about the new room you step it, but immediately you know that it's a nice (or awful) room, you create a story of this room, you fill it with mythical elements. Same with all the things, including facts. No matter how stand alone and grounded facts you can have, they all will be coiled by myth - and there's nothing wrong with that. You say that fiction is made up and doesn't apply to real world, yet Real World is a myth that's being made by all people and it doesn't need application because Real World is Fiction.

fun

why not both

Because the amount of truth in fiction and lies in non-fiction is a wildly variable thing, and pretending they're separate categories of literature is an error only made by those who haven't read much of anything written before 1600.
