Nah, it's not like that. It's usually part of the graduation handbook because it determines the practices for the conferral of degrees such as the order at graduation, who can hood people getting doctorates etc (which is why academics care about it since that's who confers degrees). It might also be in something like a government salary handbook because the degree determines things like salary and GS level. Other than these kinds of situations, I don't think it matters that much and doubt that most people give it much thought.
