One looked at it for a second before handing it back, the others just said they didn't need it without even reading it. A few anecdotes aren't a trend, of course, but I do wonder if there's either lax training at this point or perhaps some "compliance fatigue" setting in among some agents.
This has been my experience with multiple UA flights so far when checking in on flights returning to the US. Haven't been asked for an attestation when checking in at the airport, but have been asked for a peek at the negative test result.

BA does not require it. They did ask for an attestation when checking in at the desk. A screenshot of the confirmation page saying it was completed was sufficient.
