RE: Yes it DO!

If you get into that all you are doing is making a rod for your own back.

During recording nobody cares about polarity unless you use two microphones on the same source.

Take drums: They could be mic'd from above (inverted impulse) or below or from a distance (your guess at polarity is as good as mine) or a mixture of close mic'd and one or more room mics.
Then there is equalization during mixing or recording which also produces phase shifts.
In the end nobody cares because it is impossible to have absolute polarity unless you use one mic for everybody. Which is what they did in the '50s before stereo and multitrack recording.
