Well, reduced resale values increase the total cost of ownership, so it matters to anyone looking to spend less by going electric. A Nissan leaf fairs particularly poorly, especially compared to its ICE counterpart, the Versa [1]. The resale values are plummeting more than the incentives given.
It also matters to anyone looking at buying a used electric car (Me), since the rapid depreciation makes me hesitant to jump in, as patience can get me more features for the same price (range etc), or save me a lot of money.
