"The body can't live without the soul".
Assume the Matrix is an mmo, or a VR simulation.
Ok, imagine you have latest, most advanced tech, a cable that's just pinned in your brain to connect with these programs. Would you bleed from your nose for hitting your nose in the program or die when dying in the program? No, you don't!
That's like playing Skyrim for your whole life in first person view and getting injured when your character does. It just doesn't happen. Or needing to pee at the same time your Sims needs to pee just because your Sim needs to pee. When did that happen? Playing WoW "omg i'm dead! im resurrected. Oh, wait! I was dead for real but I'm back again. Cool!"
The Matrix is sci-fi can't be the reason for it. In Star Trek they don't tell you "Men have the ancient mental ability to synchronize their bodies with quantum particles so once in a while they can beam themselves to the Enterprise in sudden danger." Casual person "Hey! How does that make any sense?" "Shut up! It's sci-fi! Don't question it!"
