Does it matter anymore?

What is the importance of w3c anymore, even if the major players don't
follow their standards? Upon validating some of our site pages, I
posed the question to myself of just how many of the "Heavy Hitters"
are doing the same as I am.

The Following results are from using w3c's HTML Validator tool with
default settings:
I am NOT name calling in ANY WAY. :)
Search:
Google.com - Failed validation, 50 Errors
Yahoo.com - Failed validation, 34 Errors
live.com - Failed validation, 64 Errors

Big Box:
Walmart.com - Failed validation, 78 Errors
Amazon.com - Failed validation, 1199 Errors
Homedepot.com - Failed validation, 9 Errors

Given these results of some of the heavy hitters on the web today, how
important is HTML validity and/or this tool?
