I'm curious because people often want this: Why do you care? Is it performance? Do you want to write code that relies on tail recursion?

Not performance, but safety. The way I was taught functional programming a million years ago explicitly depends on tail recursion to avoid stack overflows where otherwise you'd have to use loops.
