I don't care if you misspell a word, or make an error. But errors require extra time to process on the reader's part. Writing that's filled with spelling and grammar errors wastes the reader's time.
I don't like having my time wasted, and so I do care about spelling, grammar, and punctuation. Similarly, I assume other people care about their time, and I try my best to write well.
Of course, the amount of care needed varies based on what you're writing. I spend more time proofreading my blog posts than this comment, and much more time proofreading the books I've worked on.
