If Gamma and Omega are really so mystified by why humans don't jack into the matrix, that implies that they themselves have values that make them want to jack into the matrix. They clearly haven't jacked in, so the question becomes "Why?".
If they haven't jacked in due to their own desire to pursue the "greater good", then surely they could see why humans might prefer the real world.
Simple answer would be to imply that Omega and Gamma have not yet amassed enough funds.
Perhaps most of the first generation of Omega Corporation senior employees jacked in as soon as possible and these are the new guys frantically saving to get themselves in as well.
