I only care about it because I've heard it unlocks features like downvoting, but I don't participate enough for it to matter anyway

Downvoting can be useful in case there is a post where you want to read every message carefully, eg a post about something you wrote. The only way I know to ensure I read every message carefully is by voting on every message (either up or down).
