Why would they need to, if they can simulate an illusion of an atomic level? For example atoms appear only if you zoom in, other processes are computed by simple more generalised things. What's the point of simulating every atom?

Well, can't it be simulated by simpler models sometime this century?

There is no point in simulating every atom, you're right.
Also such an "always on atom level" Earth-simulating machine would be larger than Earth itself, which seems like a waste of resources.
