Why do some people care so much about it?
In truth, a lot of people don't care about their KDR in games like CoD or BF. It is just that you don't really become super vocal about things you don't care about. "When it comes to the current Administration, I just can't make a solid opinion!" will never, ever be yelled over a megaphone.
When it comes to DUST, KD/R is a less useful stat to be super stoked about. Sure, your KD/R might be 43.2 but if that just means that in 100 games you will kill 43 people and die once or twice during that time frame are you as useful in helping your team win as the person that is 0.93 and hacks points? Furthermore, there are SO many ways to pad that KD/R like a fourth grader's bra. Redline Snipers, Tankers, and good ADS pilots die far less often than most other roles. An ADS Pilot might only die every other match and kill maybe 7 people a match which makes for an oh-so sexy 14 KDR. It wasn't that they were some kind of unstoppable killing machine; they just rarely die.
I was really happy when it hit above 1.5 because it meant I was getting better. That is when it meant a lot to me because I could see that I was starting to be less terrible at the game. I started in the sub .7's and got it up to 1.5 s I could see I was getting better. Now, it fluctuates between 3.88 and 3.92; it is just a number that doesn't mean too much to me.

When talking about the KDR of a specific match it is important to understand that a crappy KDR with a lot of War Points can carry you to the top of the leader-board of the losing team.
And a high KDR with few War Points can carry you to the top of the leader-board of the losing team.
I am curious what you are getting at. You have been given the best answers that could possibly be given for "I don't care about KDR because X" that I think is possible. In this case, X =
"I just want to have fun playing."
"It has a lot less relevance in this game."
It doesn't win games."
"I think there are better statistics."
"There are play styles that will artificially inflate or deflate your KDR."
