Hardly anyone who? Email clients are supposed to check or they're internally bound (Gmail web client etc).

Yes I think you can bypass the checks but doesn't mean they aren't checked

Server to server connections.

Eg. Gmail.com sending email to cnn.com. That would be TLS encrypted, but the server certificate wouldn't be checked.
