Flight plans are usually filed hours before a flight with old wind data and sometimes can't be changed in congested airspace.

But pilots really care about wind shear. Its the thing that makes people suddenly hit the overhead compartment. It typically requires flight crews reporting it to ATC over radio. Improving accuracy of local wind events is very valuable.

Nope, it’s mostly selective lack of reading skills when it comes to the ‘fasten the seatbelts’ sign..
