You're right...nobody in the audience cares. But, as a professional, I DO. But that's just me and I agree with whatever use of a transposer is appropriate for the individual. I just choose not to use one. I believe that choice makes for a much better player. And, it's not as hard and time consuming as you'd think. There are times when I have to use the house grand to back singers, horn players, etc.
