Need? No, granted, just as there is no need for, e.g., alternate number bases in specifying constants. It's simply a convenience for interfacing with external C routines that use that convention (e.g., a few thousand Windows API routines).
A logical expression such as "X = 0" or "X <> 0" covers it quite nicely.
Although with a bit more semantic fog. ;-)
