Do you think end consumers care at all about certifications?

Consumers certainly can't evaluate each product individually, and that is where certification is a simpler form of evaluation.

It also isn't necessary for every consumer to care about certification. All it takes is a minority to do so - enough to tip sales away from the competition. Certification is also easy to mention in reviews and product feature lists.
