Who cares, my system boots in less than 20 seconds, I usually push the button and by the time I sit down the system is up an running. I guess Oracle has resolved all other issues with open source software and can now concentrate on the mundane that no one will notice.

49% matters a lot when you need to quickly fire up VMs on demand to deal with load changes.
49% matters a lot on large data-center nodes that take forever to boot up.
49% matters on embedded devices that are expected to be instantly functional.
Perhaps Oracle can find a way for your brain to also boot up before you sit down.

I'm waiting for all the loonies to come out and quit using Linux because they are worried Oracle is going to retroactively change the license on their GPL'd contributions and start suing them like they always say is going to happen to OpenZFS, Illumos etc with the CDDL'd code. Which of course is nonsense.

I love the boot time improvements, never going to complain about cutting away some more at the boot times for hardware.
Though I might be a bit damaged by my job, as I can't help but think of this in relation to the Dell R720 EFI boot time, where just the hardware init takes six minutes to complete.

Mine is a Dell with a ~20 second BIOS init before drives are accessed and then an OS starts to boot...adding the ZFS/GRUB lag on top of that just sucks
Like other people here, this sure isn't for my system but that doesn't mean I don't appreciate what it brings.
