Yes, it matters a lot. A mild amount of low aliased crunch sounds very different from a mild amount of very aliased distortion, and people pay a bunch of money for software that sounds good.
Audiophiles also drop a lot of money on gear that intentionally distorts the signal. Aliasing is one reason why they buy tube amplifiers instead of tube modelers in their receivers, although I don't doubt the latter exists.
