Why is worldbuilding important in non-fantasy stories?

Worldbuilding affects your characters’ belief systems and their understanding of that world; it shapes their choices, their circumstances, and their goals.

I have just finished reading "A Sea of Unspoken Things" by Adrienne Young (review link below) and have moved on to Tomi Adeyemi's "Children of Blood and Bone" which is a cracking fantasy novel in a dystopian world.
