Believe it or not, fuel injectors do get clogged. The least you can do is use a high quality gasoline that has detergent added.

Also, the reason for fuel additives is mainly to overcome the detrimental effects of ethanol which is added to gasoline, (10% where I live).

I won't go into greater detail right now, but you can do the research yourself.
As noted, I have done the research. You haven't.
