I give a crap, because when I see an API, I expect a GET to be idempotent. If a coworker implemented this, there would be words.

Same here. Working on a large codebase where people "just build software and document it properly" without following standards is not fun. Not to mention that frequently people end up shortening that to "just build software". It's better to get in the habit of following good standards even on small projects before bad habits form.
