I'm surprised you even need to ask.

Years ago, I remember Rei described as "a plastic blowup doll".
It's a sex toy with which you can do whatever you like and it
will never talk back and it will never resist in the slightest so
you never have to worry about being rejected or denied.

There are a lot of shy and lonely pale friendless virgins who find
this concept rather appealing.

What part of the above wasn't immediately obvious to you?

P.S.:  There are also a few bitter perverted non-virgins who
have actually gone through the torture of a relationship with
an actual real life female human and thus have an even
greater appreciation of the above concept.

P.P.S.: Actually, those bitter perverted non-virgins no doubt
outnumber the above pale friendless virgins.

P.P.P.S.: Well, maybe not in Japan.  Based on the sheer number
of panty shots in anime, my wife has deduced that only three
Japanese men have actually had sex--and two of them are gay.
