Is a designer really necessary?

I argue here that they are not for the proof of concept stages.

Your argument is that teams don't need "20 designers" they need 1-2 to bootstrap the program until is takes off.

That's a big difference from "is a designer really necessary?"

Same argument but for programming; Do you really need a team of 20 programmers? My conclusion from that argument would not be "are programmers really necessary?" Would you hire a web designer to program your software?
