Most working mathematicians don't care about pure set theory. They're not thinking about ZFC axioms while they're doing math. This only becomes a topic of conversation because we start getting counterintuitive results down the line, or because of an increasing awareness of mistakes (see video below).
I think this a good video about foundations:

He makes a point about how different foundational systems can interpret each other, eg Type Theory can be understood in Set Theory and vice versa, etc. I generally encourage people not to worry about these things.
