Because “blue pill people” only understand their universe in terms of the matrix, they will only understand Neo in blue pill terms and, hence, will turn on him when the matrix demands it. This is why citizens in the matrix routinely morph into “agents” throughout the movie.
Morpheus: “[These are] the very minds of the people we’re trying to save. But until we do, these people are still a part of that system, and that makes them our enemy. . . ."
Morepheus: "You have to understand, most of these people are not ready to be unplugged. And many of them are so inert, so hopelessly dependent on the system, that they will fight to protect it."
In The Matrix, there are no scenes where Neo tries to win over a blue pill person; it’s pointless, and he doesn’t have time.
