Because the in-game mechanics would translate to real life. A chest in your inventory on Minecraft is a sprite, and when placed, transforms into a fuller object. Storage functions by storing sprites, like storing data.

Same applies to Terraria. :) Just imagine every mechanics as a legitimate part of the game that everyone/NPCs understand.
