A lot of simple songs are just open "cowboy" chords for sure. But those are played on the first frets while the guitar is typically intonated at the 12th fret and tuned with open strings. I would expect those first frets to be fairly "out" vs. the open strings.

If they are out most people don’t have the ear for it. A lot of people don’t even bust out their tuners and just tune off fretted note on previous string.
