Well for one that model is horrifying, who wants to look at someone with severe sunburn that's sloughing off? And for another, realistic models with low poly counts don't usually look very good. Cartoony models like anime and furry models can look good even with stunted poly counts. And lastly, real human looking models fall deep into the uncanny valley. They're just uncomfortable to look at. 

In b4 >furry models, it's a good example of something that can look good in a lower poly, cartoony art style because it's fantastical and your brain doesn't try and make real world comparisons.
