if you’re transferring any sensitive files to and from a user you don’t need it. But that is not the only problem.
It is a defacto by browsers and search engine. If you don’t have it they always warn their users against using your website.

Mainly it ain’t need for in-house app but if for the public then people(the top dogs) has made it kind of compulsory.
