It's different and the same at the same time.
We watch people making millions driving one off hyper performance vehicles around a track.
Why?
We like cars and appreciate the skill it takes to drive them well.
eSports is no different.
The people who watch also play and admire the skill it takes to play at a higher level.
Maybe a better comparison is people who watch competitive poker on TV.
It's less the thing being done and more the level to which it's being done.
