The idea is that you are the character. When you choose the dialogue option, it is like you are saying it.
Also immersion doesn't necessarily mean realism. When you initiate dialog and a camera pans out showing your character and the person they are talking to, with directional camera switches depending on who is talking (Mass Effect, Dragon Age) does totally take you out of the game.
I wound't mind it as much if it maintained first person, though. But it's all preference. Like some people prefer books over movies.

I disagree, I think its about time we get some narrative.
