You don't NEED it. It's a shortcut that makes the makes the task somewhat
simpler and it 'standardizes' the process in a way. For example the action
may have 20 different saturation levels (can't remember it's been a while
since I've used it). The action can saturate and desaturate the image in
exact increments, the same way for every image.
It's basically a lazy or busy person's way of getting the results they want
without having to do a lot of thinking about it. Photoshop purposefully
allows the building of actions, which 3rd party vendors have taken advantage
of.

Why would you need a plug-in to adjust color and saturation in PS? The
program has many ways to do that.
