People care. When on interview committees I've had to argue that gaps aren't relevant. Maybe it's someone with the ability to plan and save and they decided to take a year or ten off. Maybe their independently wealthy and is doing it for fun. They probably lost a job at a bad time, couldn't get hired for 8 months and then got fucked by a gap in their resume for another 18. Some of these gaps are even old. Like what do we care about three months fifteen years ago. Even if that's a job they got fired from right away it's olllld.
It's because they hear all of those excuses and realize "It can happen again"
