re: Why are distributors needed?

Mainly for inventory and stocking purposes. The manufacturers generally don’t want to deal with the end users. There are too many and it’s too difficult.
They would rather sell to a small number of distributors and then let them sell to the general public.

And if they did just want to deal with end users directly then they would have to employ the support for those operations in house. It wouldn't reduce or eliminate that function. It would just move the function to be internal rather than external.
