The professors often do care. They give the benefit of the doubt to students who show up every day and often are strict with ones who regularly don't show up.

When it comes to asking for an extension or whether or not your grade might get rounded up it absolutely matters if they saw your face every class.

Totally agree with this. I had experienced it myself. Showing up to the class regularly and attending the extra AMA sessions by the professor himself helped him recognize me and later he changed my 'F' to a 'B+'. (Long story behind getting an 'F' so didn't get into that here)

I think they meant "don't care" as in they won't nag you to show up to class like teachers in middle school, let's say, would. So there is no one to scold you for not attending classes.
