I think we ought to care. When I used to work in-house, we would write down rejected offers. That was very important to consider hiring new staff or not.
I've not done that over the last 5 years I've been working as a freelancer, but just this month, I decided to start doing it, so this polls comes right on time. Since March 1st, I turned down 24 offers. I count only those offers which I may have accepted if I had had less work going on, not those bulk offers from unknown agencies offering ridiculous conditions.
I keep telling myself I am going to start keeping track of rejected projects because it would be a good way of gauging when there is enough excess demand for my services to raise rates.
