For plays, I tend to think the "rule" is necessary. For movies, a little less so, since things can just be there for visual interest in a way they can't for plays.
But for novels and other fiction? Utter codswallop. When not writing for a visual performance, you build scenes in any way that works. This can include meaningless items being interacted with purely for that reason.
