The foundations have real implications on very little of the mathematics. Say I'm working in differential equations in vector spaces. I really do not care whether the axiom of choice is true or false. I'm not building up my functions of multiple real parameters out of sets.

You say you have a foundation where that is in fact what I am doing? Great, if that floats your boat. I don't care. That's several layers of abstraction away from what I'm doing. I pretty much only care about stuff at my layer, and maybe one layer above or below.
