Maybe the word 'need' made it unclear.
Applications certainly do not generally _need_ their own
hardware preset, just _if_ a non configurable app is to be
controlled with hardware it requires a matching preset.
This preset itself may reside in the controller hardware
or in any kind of software router.

Many applications let the user do the assignment,
e.g ardour,
phasex or ams. Others with fixed controller numbers, e.g.
zyn/yoshimi azr3jack need either their own dedicated hardware
preset (if such thing is available on the MIDI controller in use)
or one of the midi routing applications mentioned above.
Careful! These are two different things:
First is controlling which event on which midi channel a certain hardware
knob/button/fader outputs.
The second is how applications react to receiving midi events. Some apps have
this configurable via gui, some only via config-file, some have this fixed at
compilation time. But all react to midi in general, you don't need a keyboard
with faders, you can also "play" these events from a sequencer...
