I read non-fiction for similar reasons as to why I read fiction: to enjoy a good story. Most of my favorite non-fic titles - The Library Book by Susan Orlean, Educated by Tara Westover, and The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls - all tell a fascinating story. I know this isn't true for all non-fic books or all non-fic readers but that's what attracts me to the genre.
