It's hard to know without more context. But this is my guess:
I think the person speaking is amused with THE FACT that people care (about whatever.)
Example:
Mr A: "Those teenagers love talking about politics. How entertaining."
Here, Mr A thinks that the fact the teenagers are discussing politics is amusing. It is not the discussion itself he thinks is interesting, but that teenagers (people usually uninterested in serious things) are even discussing politics. Mr A is a little condescending (rude.)
