Sometimes it's hard to tell if something is in focus. Eyes are getting older, in dim light, with a 500mm f/8 lens on the front. The focus confirmation beep is just a reassurance that maybe it's focused precisely. Getting two input confirmations auditory beep and visual blink is good. Necessary no. Like you said.
