I do and if my watch stops because i dont keep it going its a real long pain to reset everything.
My Perpetual calendar watch came with a winder so the manufacturer (Patek Philippe) must know something.
My Annual callendar watch also has a winder box.
For Rolex watches and simple movement watches i agree, Winders are not needed or wanted. part of the enjoyment of a watch is setting the date, time etc.

Agree with watches that have a lot of complications one of the main reasons that Patek gives one free with there Perpetual calendar is to stop their owners buggering them up trying to set them.But with all Rolex watches no need for a machine unless you have lost the use of your fingers, so you cannot manually wind a stopped watch.
