Most conspiracy theorists (in the cases of the ones I’ve met, at least) seem to enjoy some sort of superiority complex kick out of it. Like they’re cleverer or wiser than you, somehow.
Just bullshit you have to put up with I suppose. My old dear has a friend/relative who genuinely believes the 500 million conspiracy (i.e. they’re going to deliberately wipe-out 7/8ths of the world population, and COVID was just a test). There are some serious whack jobs out there with simply too much to do.
My advice when dealing with these people is simply change the subject. Saves a lot of unnecessary eye-rolling, and you really can’t debate efficiently with an idiot. I do get that there is probably a great deal we don’t (and will never) know, but if it doesn’t really affect my life or those of my loved ones, I really couldn’t care less.
