They do care about accuracy. Most people watching historical movie want it to be historical, however they lack the knowledge for seeing inaccuracies. Historical movie needs to be accurate and have 'wow' moments. Unfortunately, it is way easier to do 'wow' without sticking to accuracy, so industry often forgets about it, because not many will notice that anyway.

Entertainment value is good thing, but if unreal things are pressed as real too hard, you end up with people thinking that every car explodes on crash
