Would God be interested in the details?

How do you understand that in Jewish worship (Halakha) there are so many details and so much ink is spilled on discussions that are seemingly unimportant and perhaps even trivial? What does God care if I put on my right shoe first or my left? What does God care if I walk four cubits this way and not that way? Seemingly delusional. I never asked myself this and now I really wonder. What does He care about all these details?!!?

The Torah has laws, and the laws are interpreted in the Tosheva. God is apparently interested in the observance of the law, since He gave it to us. The details are the result of interpretation. In general, the areas of interest of God are not really clear to me, nor are they really accessible for discussion.

Rabbi, but it really depends on when the halakhic rigor developed in the Tosh”a. Don't you think?
Because if we see the Torah in a non-rigorous way, EA's question will arise even more
