There are 100’s of other homes available for sale, why would you buy with power lines in sight, on a busy road, close to the interstate, or next to a smelly water plant.

Most people who purchase homes have a limit on what they will spend. That means they have to prioritize what features they are looking for. In TV most homes are built on zero-lot-line properties. If a home with power lines had the feature of a larger yard or much nicer house for the money, it wouldn't be irrational for some homebuyers to make the choice to buy the house.
Now buying next to a road with noise pollution would be a definte no for me. But to each their own.
