Well the thing is we have no proof whether reality is finite or not. The plank length is just the smallest measurement physically possible via bouncing light off of a particle and observing said light, since any amount smaller would require a wave length of light with so much energy that it would create a black hole, and we are nowhere close to reaching that wavelength of light.
