It matters a bit, but not that much. Failure to comply comes with a maximum fine of HK$100,000 (US$ 12,500), plus six months imprisonment for service providers. [0]

If HK police repeatedly fine a company, the company may have to stop serving HK or even China.

I think Canada suspended their extradition treaty to protect against this threat.
