If you have the same amount of money for marketing that those companies do I wouldn't worry either lol...
Basically..
It doesn't have to have 0 errors, sometimes there's valid reason to code something different, I think that a competent designer should know that and know why they chose not to use valid coding.
A valid page will:
- not cause any issues with a search bot
- not cause any issues with a browser causing the page to load slower
- shows professionalism especially if you are working for a company that has people in marketing or other designers and developers that will be working on the site
- is a great habit to develop
- you won't have to recode anything should an engine decide to use validation in it's algorithms (note: google does say in it's tips that your code should be clean and well formed)
- a pretty good idea.. but don't lose tons of sleep over it
