I cared when I was visiting my son's summer camp on Winni and I asked the director why none of his boats were out on the lake on such a beautiful day.
He explained that there were some days, mostly weekends, when the cowboy atmosphere on the lake was so bad, that he could not justify sending out children in sail boats, kayaks and canoes. He also could not allow water skiing on those days.
He didn't think a speed limit would completely solve the problem. But he did think it might reduce the weekend madness of the lake in the future.
Looks like he was right.
