steering feel

I've been helping a colleague with test driving a few cars this morning, and suddenly after my casual comment about a handling impression I've got from one of the cars he struck me with a question: "Why do you care how the steering feels? You step on it, the car goes forward, that's all. Why do you need this feedback from the wheels, and what's so important in physically feeling what the car is doing?"
I was completely overwhelmed by this question. I don't consider myself a very experienced driver, but I used to believe that the good feedback is an essential thing -- the ride has to be informative if you ever want to control your car. Guess, not everyone can appreciate that (or just doesn't need it), but why deny it completely?
