Are face pulls and band pull aparts really necessary if I'm doing rows and reverse flyes?

Some of the biggest names in fitness make it sound like face pulls and band pull aparts are absolutely necessary. "Non-negotiable" as Jeff Cavalier puts it. My question is why? The benefits of these exercises are clear. They promote muscular balance, shoulder health, and good posture by targeting the rear delts, rhomboids, and rotator cuff. Rows and reverse flyes also directly target these muscles though, so what is it that makes these exercises uniquely beneficial. I realize external rotation isn't possible with most row variations which is an important part of targeting the rotator cuff, but this is easily done with reverse flyes by using a supinated grip. What am I missing?
