This is pretty weird blanket statement or rather it very much depends on what kind of game you are making. If you are making a casual single player experience then having glitches isn't that big of a deal. However if you want to make the next e-sports game then glitches matter a lot more especially if they can be abused to gain power - be it actually powering up your character in some way or having (near) invincible position.
Another aspect many game devs ignore is speed running. Having glitches in a single player game might not be that big of a deal for normal playthroughs, but many games have had long lives after their initial release as people want to speed run them and there glitches matter. If your game is broken it can create situations where speed running isn't fun.
