Yea you don't absolutely need a 3D model. The benefit of 3D though, is you can define any camera angle and perspective of the main product. now of course you just take a picture of a product from any angle if it were in front of you, but that's not always feasible. the use case here is scalable photo generation for ecomm stores with thousands of inventory items.
Additionally, 3d means more than just camera angle control. you can define a scene in 3D and send it into control net to produce a very specific image

yeah that makes sense. I think the challenge is how much you can automate vs the quality.
