Cardio will impact your gains but that shouldn't matter to you unless you're trying to maximize muscle growth.

Exactly my point, yeah. The significance of the impact is also debatable and not nearly as much as one might think, especially if you do proper programming.

I don't lift weights to compete, I lift to be healthy, strong and generally fit. That means maximizing different aspects of my physical fitness overall, even if that means a particular aspect might be weaker than if I only focused on that exclusively.
