I don't have time to count how many mormons I know. From my own personal experience during group readings the footnotes were important.
The Joseph Smith Translation has restored some of the plain and precious things that have been lost from the Bible (1 Ne. 13). Although it is not the official Bible of the Church, this translation does offer many interesting insights and is very valuable in understanding the Bible. It is also a witness for the divine calling and ministry of the Prophet Joseph Smith.

For me the footnotes were just as important as what was written in the Bible.
