Because

are linked lists really necessary? The short answer to that is no

This statement seemed really really off even though TOP is not focusing on DSA in detail, it should still provide reasonable answers on what's covered.

Anyhow, I changed the no to it depends. Then, I decided to write why "it depends", and boy oh boy it was too much that I ended up writing an entire article discussing Are Linked Lists necessary?. It was solely for TOP :D

The article compares insertion, deletion, access and also discusses one practical application. I read the previous articles and tried my best to keep it as short as possible. Fortunately, it's only 4 minutes long :)

P.S. I wanted to contribute more to TOP CS section and after my previous contributions, it motivated me even more!
