Beyond that the "illusion" explanation is deeply unsatisfying precisely b/c an illusion itself is defined as an experience. If I thought I saw a bat that was actually a leaf, it doesn't change that I saw *something*. Perhaps you mean illusion in some other sense, but this runs up against the second problem with illusions - someone has to be fooled. If there are just processes, who is the illusion fooling? If there is a someone who is fooled, then there is something it like to be fooled....which gets us back into the issue of qualia...
Like I said the ‘illusion’ (or ‘construct’ if you prefer) is irresistible. You’ve nicely reinforced that point.
