It's only as necessary as you are picky about getting the best sound you can out of your axe! No, it's not a strict necessity. But after you've been playing a while, you can tell the difference. Especially when recording, since under the microphone is the same thing as your guitar and you being under a microscope! When you are trying to put your guitar in perfect tune for recording, you can tell because it becomes harder and harder to do and more elusive.

Me, I change strings just about every other session or so. My guitar shines its best with fresh strings. But that's being pretty picky...

Becoming a great guitarist has less to do with fancy moves than it does becoming a master of the basics and learning musicianship.
It's not what you can't do. It's how you play what you already know.
