People do care, but they also care about other things. I grew up in the album era. My vinyl and cassettes are long gone and I have seven milk-crates jammed with CDs in my basement. I have spent many thousands of dollars buying albums that on average had 2-3 songs that I really wanted. There are always some albums that are excellent throughout, but the vast majority are riddled with mediocre work. Now the market has evolved back to the age of purchasing singles. And yes, the industry is going to take a hit for not making tons of money selling the customer something they don't want. Who knows. Maybe in a couple years musicians will stop releasing albums and instead put out a new single twice a year. This might be better since quality can be maintained when there is no disk to fill.
