It's totally relevant. Everyone wants to get to their destination hassle-free. That's why right-of-way laws exist. Without them it would be chaos on the roads. With right-of-way laws, traffic moves relatively normally. When someone violates that right of way, someone else generally has to make a corrective action, or take evasive action, or there's a crash. It's the same whether you're in a car or on a bike. If there's only corrective action, like slowing down a bit, or making a slight course change, it's a non-event for both cyclists and motorists alike. If evasive action is required, it can be stressful and annoying, for both cyclists and motorists. And if there's a crash things get even worse, generally more so for a cyclist.

I'm not sure why you try to downplay right-of-way laws for cyclists. They apply the same to all traffic, all vehicles, all vehicle operators, and it's why generally, for the most part, the roads are not filled with chaos and anarchy.
