Most people may not, but that doesn't really matter.
You should care about quality because shipping things that make the best of the time and skills you have then is a great feeling. It doesn't have to be perfect, just good enough that you feel like you gave it a good shot. This bootstraps a positive feedback loop of wanting to incrementally improve that, or do even better next time.
One thing I've realized as I've been learning front-end design is that most websites aren't actually that visually pleasing or even necessarily well-designed. They're just okay enough that it doesn't get in your way. That's quite a low bar to cross!
I'll also die on the hill that people can tell when care and attention was put into things they use. They may not be able to consciously perceive it, but it's there, and it builds trust, which is essential if you're trying to convert a visitor to a paying user.
