Am I the only one who just does not care? I mean, there are so many 0day vulnerabilities... and most of the really useful ones are not even shared publicly.

I just don't believe that Spectre represents any kind of "above standard" vulnerability to the computers of regular people (and even most IT professionals)... I understand the concern if we're talking about internet-facing network services/servers, but forcing these performance degrading "fixes" on people with Windows and stuff... is a massive overreaction. All these patches should be opt-in.
