It wasn't designed as a "need", it was designed as a precaution.

I did acknowledge that they changed the pickup for the better.

They didn't design it for a full blockage of one side of the pickup. When the RTV piles up it blocks parts of the other sides of the box too. One small chunk of RTV won't matter at least.
