Is a tire alignment necessary for car maintenance or only when you need it?

I went to Tire Kingdom recently and they tried to persuade me to get a tire alignment as part of my car's maintenance. But it handles just fine and I don't really have any problems with the steering. The tires themselves are okay, too. Were they just trying to scam me or are tire alignments really a preventative maintenance procedure?

    alignment can be required if you have knocked the wheel on a kerb or somethin, cause then they wear on one side and you end up paying for a new one,

    if the handling is ok and the wear is even then you dont need to get it done, certainly not required as a part of an ordinary service
