I haven't read anywhere that it is needed, where are you seeing that? Since many of us run oil coolers, it could be said that using a relocation plate and then running cooler lines off the relocated filter might be nice, but it still adds potential leak points.

It means you can change the filter from above, and you don't pee oil all over the subframe when you do it. It also means you can run any filter you like, rather than having to use one that fits on the Mazda mount.
It's hard to integrate remote oil filter and oil cooler lines and still use a thermostat on the oil cooler.
