Granted that I'm still relatively inexperienced when it comes to firearms, so perhaps I lack the first-hand experience to properly differentiate/appreciate a "good" trigger from a "bad" trigger, but I've always felt that the subject was somewhat nitpicky on self-defense firearms, as I doubt that anybody would notice details like the weight, break, length of travel, or the reset in a self-defense situation so long as the aforementioned factors prevented the gun from firing.
Now I know that someone will likely want to argue with me on this by bringing up firearms with notoriously bad triggers like the H&K VP70, but I'm not talking about extraordinarily bad triggers with massive weight, grit, creep/over-travel, etc but rather triggers on firearms such as the SCCY which get labeled as "bad" without having any noteworthy issues. In seems like certain folks consider any trigger which is less than great to be bad.
That said, if we're talking about firearms designed for recreational plinking or competitive shooting, then I can understand why folks would care about the trigger since they'll be shooting it for fun/competition. For example, I own a Walther PPK/S .22 with an extremely heavy 17.5lb DA Trigger, which makes firing the first shot unpleasant and inaccurate, so I always just cock back the hammer and shoot it in Single Action.
