I mean, yes in so far that it opens those options up to people who may not have been able to afford it before. Whether that's a 'need' or not depends on your opinion of the company I guess.

Also there are other applications beyond this, of course. Easily made videos could help reduce the costs associated with treating some mental health issues for example.

The you have the ability for novice film makers to make content, a bit like how engines like Unity have made it easier for people to make games. Sure there'll be shit-tier tat, but there'll also be content made by creators that may never have had the chance otherwise.
