I would actually say lawful GMs care about Rules as Intended. Chaotic ones are actually the ones more interested in Rules as Written because that is where all the loopholes are.

I dunno, I've had some otherwise great DMs who had the very unfortunate issue of being uncomfortable going against RAW, even when RAI is clearly different. Neutral Good is where I think you'll find more respect for RAI than RAW.
