I've never really understood why that's significant other than perhaps degree of motivation. Even for someone who doesn't believe in climate change or the man made aspect of it I'd have thought, say, cleaner air, cars with instant torque and cheaper energy would be broadly desirable.

They would be broadly desirable if there were no downsides to them.
A $2500 used Toyota Corolla beats a Model 3 on purchase price, insurance, 5 year TCO, and on "how far and flexibly can I road trip it?"

Dealing with climate change is going to cost a lot of money and require companies to change their behaviors. If they don't even believe there's a problem, then it will be harder to convince them to change.

Certainly not cheaper or cleaner.

It's not, a lot of people are driven by spite and actively reject those things:
