Who is saying it's absolutely necessary? I can see how it might cause accessibility issues when the layout of pages change as they are zoomed, but it's by no means inevitable.

That said, I tend to regard the presence of "z-index" attributes as a warning that there might be other nastiness because it suggests the design is fundamentally flawed. It's the same as when you see positive "tabindex" attributes.
