As others have said, 60fps can actually look "off" to some audiences. It definitely looks "off" to me, and I can't quite put my finger on it/why. It could just be my age (late 30s) and my brain grew up on 24-30fps.

Many new TVs interpolate 24/30 fps to be 60fps. This is knows as "The Soap Opera Effect", and has been written about here before. [0].

To me, 24/30fps feels "smooth", almost "buttery". 60fps feels crisp. 60fps feels almost too real. It makes it more difficult for me to suspend disbelief, whereas 30 makes it easier to suspend disbelief and get lost in the imaginary world that's being presented to me as if it were real. It's really difficult for me to explain....

The horrible "motion smoothing" interpolation is the first thing anybody should turn off on a new TV. I absolutely hate it, just ruins the look of movies!
