Because I think human beings are predisposed to finding patterns in randomness, meaning in meaninglessness, in superstition and coming up with grand dramas to justify those irrational beliefs.
After all, human beings naturally came up with god concepts to begin with, and I don't see that our fundamental nature has changed to suggest that we won't continue to do so.

Are god stories inevitable? I believe so.
Are they necessary? I don't understand the question. Necessary for what?

Our brains are hardwired for pattern matching. Anything we look at, our brains instinctively try to match it with something we've previously experienced. We are natural categorizers. This is the root of animism, anthropomorphism, of seeing bunny rabbits of clouds and - yes - in seeing design in things that were not designed.How do you explain the appearance of design?
