ELI5: Why does every material tell me its origins (ex: Made in China) and why do I give a shit?

The easy answer is that it's US Law to name where the product is from. We don't trade with certain countries...so if a product says it's from some country we don't trade with, it could be a counterfeit/illegal. 

Also from the countries perspective, they obviously want people to know where it came from for obvious reasons. 

And lastly, you give a shit if well...if you actually care where it came from. Some people like to support the US economy and by items made in USA. Some people want to buy products as cheap as they can, so they are drawn to China.
