Honestly, it wouldn't really matter much to my life if I didn't like them. I'd see them maybe 6-8 days per year.
OK, but that is still 6-8 important days a year that you would have to endure their company. Just sounds like a shitty way to live.
I guess I just look it as you are not just marrying the person, you are marrying the family as well.

My wife doesn't really like her mother, so I don't think she'd care if I didn't
She's alright.
My FIL was a baw. I killed tons of beers and got into all kinds of crap with that man. Luckily, I ended up really getting along well with him considering I didn't know him that well when we got married. He told me once that I was the son he never had when he was near the end and left me stuff in his will.

That’s barely over 2% of the days in a year. You’re marrying your wife not her mother.

I've always found this to be an odd blanket statement. It may work for some, but it even being the rule of thumb is a bit much.
I didn't marry my wife's family. I married my wife. If she gave a shite one way or another how I felt about her parents, we probably wouldn't have lasted too long and have gotten married. Luckily, that has no part in our compatibility.

I agree with you but a little alcohol makes it a lot more tolerable
