It isn't always necessary, but it is not problematic if that information is reported.

Some screen readers report whether or not a radio button is selected or not selected. Some of the same screen readers may only report which item is selected in a listbox. I have also seen interfaces where multiple items could be selected and only the state of the selected items was reported. So as long as the selected option is reported, it probably is less important whether or not the unselected items report their state.
