True, empirical studies show us that there should be no difference.
Yet, there is one. Serifed fonts were used, practically forever, almost exclusively for printed books. For most of us, there is a strong association between printed book and serifed fonts. The larger body of text simply does not "feel right" if it is set in sans-serif typeface. There is not a single (p)book on my bookshelf where predominant font is from any sans-serif family.
