Were all different, and our uses and reasons are ,my pc is on all day everyday for example with as high a load as my cooling system will support, others are similar, the large majority of pc user's don't care I agree.
But as far as simplifying everyone into one bracket, that's a stretch IMHO.
I've paid about £30-50 for pc power alone for years and at one point 20 times that amount.
But some do not care indeed.
Did you just virtue signal?
In my experience the type of people who legitimately care about power draw do not hang out here, nor in other similar sites. You'll find them in the forums on the specific applications they are using, because they are pros in those areas (rendering, video editing, AI/distributed computing, etc) and their ability to make a living is directly tied to their skill in those apps - not by perusing hardware tech forums. They also don't use consumer grade midrange desktop chips in their workstations.
Saving time is always more important to someone using their PC to make a living, which is why I question the veracity of someone who cares how much power an i5 / i7 or similar desktop chips draws.
