Why do Lasers in Games Look Like That?

Why do lasers in games, movies, and tv shows look like that? Today, inspired by a roadblock I faced in my game's development, I do a deep dive into why lasers in visual media have a distinctly different appearance to actual lasers. Hope you enjoy!

Funny paragraph you can ignore:
This is a devlog (DEVLOG) that's also a Video essay about lasers or LASERS CHALLENGE similar to mr beast or MR BEAST last video. The game is about black holes and is a Movement Shooter like Karlson or KARLSON (by dani). It's made in unity, like among us (AMONG US) and has been in development for 6 MONTHS. It is first person like minecraft (MINECRAFT).
