I agree that it needn't be included (though those I've seen were indeed distinctive). I recall it only in English scores, e.g., Novello, so to me it seems a local rather than a universal notation. The modern way of placing two noteheads touching takes no more horizontal space than seconds ('back' notes) and the usual slight overlap makes it clear they're simultaneous.
