The "doesn’t matter much" is, I think, the crux of the matter.
commandlinefan's earlier negative aside concerned language quality.
IMO, I think people hold peer-review journal published papers to a (slightly?) higher language quality standard than what may be the first of several preprints. And I think anamexis was pointing out that difference.
As Wikipedia says: "The immediate distribution of preprints allows authors to receive early feedback from their peers, which may be helpful in revising and preparing articles for submission." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Preprint
I expect that may include identifying and fixing typos.
