why is hollywood obsessed with unrealistic hacking?

Because it makes it look cool. Even if inaccurate, it's better than having the audience sit through an 8 hour lecture to understand the basics of computers, let alone security protocols.

Blackhat did the bottom version

>fake email from supervisor sent to dumbfuck with virus attachment labeled urgent
>dumbfuck opens attachment allowing backdoor into his terminal

Conning people is not hacking.

Social engineering is not hacking.

For all its silliness doesn't the bottom happen near the start of Hackers too? Pretty much word for word?
The reason most do the top is the same reason characters cock shotguns when they're just about to use them instead of much earlier or crack their knuckles before a fight or whatever, dramatic effect, fiction is not reality, wooo

Mr.Robot was alright in terms of hacking, it was mostly password guessing or stealing.
But then it went way to over the top with prison hacking and shit so there is that.
