If the players don't think it matters, why should anyone else? Why should the networks pay for it? When the playoffs start, why should the 8 seeds or whatever they are doing try?

you are ignoring this little fact like they haven't played for 3 months. For players to sit out for 3 months then come back to fill out the string is silly if a player is older or banged up. In a normal year if a guy gets hurt in late Dec and is cleared to play in April with 5 games and his team is out of it, no one would bat an eye if he just sat the rest of the season.
