Not necessary but makes life MUCH easier. I always lube with One Shot. Just a light spritz. Don't need to hit every case either.
I discovered it when I started reloading 9mm.
Why do things the hard way?

Agree, though a lubed case every 5-6 dies make things smoother. So does tumbling in a dry media with a bit of polish. The guys that really struggle are those wet tumbling. Cases are very sticky, even in carbide dies.

I use all carbide sizer dies in my handgun calibers.

Me too! Especially when it is not stuck to the pan/bowl. Makes it hard to get off and still look like broccoli...

Son brought me a 'care package,' leftovers from his girlfriend's family's Christmas dinner.
A very surprising item was fried broccoli (!). Battered and fried. It was quite good.

I was going to comment on Hornady TiN sizing dies, but I guess the thread has run its course and has devolved into wisecracks. I am a wise cracker, in both senses of the word, but it seems out of place here. Mais, ça, c'est la vie, eh, chers?

This is what I use for my 223/556 rifle cases. Works great.
The "container" I use to apply the lube is a 1 gallon ziplock bag.
Put a couple of hundred cases in the bag, it it with a few spritzes from the spray bottle, roll 'em around a little then dump 'em out & let the alcohol evaporate.
