And does it matter if they show up on applicants LinkedIn profiles or just resumes?
(I know some ATS slurp up LinkedIn profile data, but not sure how prominently it’s shown.)

I consider them negatively. In general, candidates that focus on certificates correlate negatively with performing well at behavioral questions and coding questions. That’s not to say you shouldn’t get certificates, but if you’re putting them on your resume in lieu of actual experience then that’s a bad sign. And if you think the certificates equate to experience then that’s also a bad sign.
