Hideo Kojima put Low Roar in the Death Stranding games because he thinks gamers need more culture in their lives: "I believe that is the role entertainment is meant to play"

Death Stranding 2.

It's important in life, I believe, to maintain a broad palette when it comes to culture and the arts. Hideo Kojima agrees, as he continues to use video games like Death Stranding to introduce people to music and other elements they might not otherwise discover.

In an interview with Vogue, he spoke about using his games as a platform for highlighting the artists he'd like people to explore further. "Take the band Low Roar from the previous game, for instance," Kojima explains. "When someone hears a song in the game and feels, 'Oh, I like this,' I want that spark to lead them to discover the band, to explore Icelandic music more deeply, or even to seek out related films."
