The customer will care when the last item in stock is sold twice. You are right, in the initial work, it's all about the pretty stuff, but the backend implementation should be scalable as the customer grows.
The last thing a customer wants to hear is that the solution works as long as you don't have too much business. Seriously this ability to track stock accurately is the most important thing to a business. Having spent a lot of my 13+ years in e-commerce development, this stuff is absolutely critical. The 'design' is irrelevant when the MD of a company wants to know precisely how much stock is in the warehouse, and in your case, why we've sold 3 times as many products than we have in stock, just because the site got busy after they ran an advert on TV last night. ACID compliance has serious financial implications and is why people keep harping on about it. It's really really really important.
