> Have you ever stopped using an app because a button or icon was slightly misaligned?

Maybe, maybe not, maybe it made me not use the app in the first place.

It is one of these little things that make the app look unprofessional. I have been a bit uncomfortable using banking apps with misaligned icons. It the designers can get away with misaligned icons, what can the core developers get away with? If a company is sloppy with their design, maybe they are sloppy with their security too.

People can easily see these visual details, they can't see the back-end but for the lack of information, they will assume it is made with the same care, that is, not much. And maybe they are right.
