For personal use perhaps it doesn't.
For professional news having data corruption is not something that you'd like, especially if you handle client data (as in backup) or even more importantly if you handle payments.
Overall for pro use lack of ECC is just a catastrophe waiting to happen.

I mean, if it is the same price I'd have no problem picking ECC, but I see the danger of it having any impact on what I and 99% people on servers are doing at 0.00000001%.
