Do certifications matter really at this point? Especially Anthropic's MCP Associate certification. I understand Cloud related certifications considering how complex Cloud Computing can be...but a certification for MCP? Really??

They are not useless. Try working in government or regulated industries; these certifications are often gatekeepers. In consulting companies, they can literally determine your bonus, as companies use them to build and promote their portfolios. You'll see companies advertising that they have 40+ engineers who are AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Professional. It's almost like SOC 2, but for employees.

I was in consulting before joining MSFT. I currently have active 8 AWS certifications (Solutions Architect Pro beeing onen of them). Before interviewing to Microsoft I interviewed at a bunch of consulting companies. Nowadays nobody bats one eye on certifications.
