It does afect the turn signal. It can be quite annoying (if you use them) to not be able to get the signal to go on or stay on because the turn off notch/bump/whatever keeps engaging.

My steering wheel is off by about 15º

I thought it had no effect on steering too.....until this weekend. My steering wheel has been misaligned for the past 6 months or so after another track bar adjustment....just been too lazy to fix it. This weekend I finally got around to straightening it out, which took less than 5 minutes to accomplish. The result? Beside proper steering wheel alignment, the overall steering and driveability is MUCH better. The adjustment effectively lengthened the drag link (in my case), which fixed most of the bump steer and wandering problems I was experiencing. Perhaps YMMV.

So that's what that little lever is for! Damn... if only someone would have told me earlier 
On a more serious note, you guys have it all wrong. In CA the turn signals are very often used.... by women..... indicating the opposite direction from their intended turn!

Mine has been off since I bought it. Is it really that easy to fix? I may have to work on this later this week.

Just adjust it already. The drag link adjustment is for steering box/wheel center only. The C-Rok plate inside the frame moved the box right meaning your wheel should be off center to the left (drag link too long). There are some who say running a steering box off center is not good for it (don't ask me). It's easy to do just like all others have said. If it were the tie rod you could do this roughly with a tape measure then have it aligned. But for the drag link do it yourself.
