It is a feature that DOES do much. Left to its own devices you will have as big a gap between teams in your league as that seen in real life MLB. Fan Interest and Fan Loyalty also affect finances but those two can and will change with long term winning. Market Size will change on it's own and can result in a huge difference in payroll.
You should definitely care about it as in solo leagues it will be an important way of giving yourself a handicap against the AI and /or understanding why your team can only reach 50% of the payroll of one of the AI teams. In Online leagues it can set you at a huge disadvantage if not addressed in other rules which may or may not be something you desire in a competitive environment.
