To answer the original question:
I care.
This move usually springs a player around a defender. I call this 100% of the time when I see it -- at all levels. The ball must be headed towards the floor to start a dribble before the pivot comes up.
As for the second situation -- I agree with the poster, but squaring up to shoot is generally accepted and doesn't really provide a great advantage like the original poster's situation.
