Can an audio rack be that important?

When we spend Tens of thousands on audio equipment are we losing sight on the importance of a good audio rack? I have seen many setups were ultra high end audio equipment is used sub-par equipment racks. 
I have been grappling with buying a high end audio rack for sometime but have always put it off as less important. 
What does a reference rack actually do for the sound of high quality components?

The isolation offered from footers such as the IsoAcoustic Gaias and others negate the need for massively built and beautiful racks. Yes, that Fleetwood Rack is nice but that's 5/6ths the way towards buying a Technics SU-R1000. I know where I'd spend that kind of money and it wouldn't be on that rack. 

All the best,
