[The Matrix] What are the downsides to being in the Matrix?

Okay, so you're a prisoner but you have no idea about it, and if you feel like something's wrong then it's nothing more than a nagging itch at the back of your mind. A shrink would probably diagnose you with some kind of disassociative disorder and prescribe some medication. 

To over seven billion people, The Matrix is real in every meaningful way, and all of them (give or take a few thousand) apparently suffer not one bit for being a part of it. Why resist The Matrix?

The Matrix enforces arbitrary restrictions which limit human ambitions.  One man managed to incur the wrath of several agents just because he broke the 100m record.  If humans start to develop an in-Matrix AI, expand to the stars, etc., the machines would step in and say no.  The world of the Matrix is stagnant.
