It depends on the flavor of conspiracy but I think with stuff like qanon and covid conspiracies, people are too afraid to confront reality. Rather than accepting that bad things are real they have to make up something even more nefarious than the (to them) "fake" reality of the situation.

And more generally, people feel some need to think they're smarter than they actually are, but typical avenues don't give them an outlet for that
