You don't have to build them. However, as you grow your base larger, the need to keep switching buildings back on becomes a headache, and you get fewer and fewer hits in unoccupied areas where you get the free resources, so it balances out. At first, I say don't build them, but after a while, build them. After all, with just 5 Regolith Processing Plant 2s, you get as much gold each day as you get from a meteor strike. And they're conveniently sized to fit into nooks and crannies in your build.
