What I don’t understand is let’s say it is flat. Why would they go to such lengths to lie that it’s round? For what purpose.

"These aren't windows, they're just sophisticated high resolution 3D monitors. NASA has had this tech for decades, they've just never let the secret out. You're not seeing the Earth, you're seeing a video. Why can't we go see it with our own eyes outside? Exactly. Seems very convenient we're being asked to wear suits with image projection helmets."
You will never win with people this fucking stupid.

Don’t get me wrong. I do love a good conspiracy, but it needs to have plausible motivation and a mountain of evidence

Hell, I’ll even accept the ones without a mountain of evidence against them as possible.
The shape of the Earth was determined by evidence noticed in the ancient Greek time, if not sooner. That includes a rough calculation of the diameter of the planet.
