We don’t evolve things cause we need it, evolution is driven by random mutations. Also we keep it if it’s better and helps us stay alive long enough to breed.

I feel like OP covered that.

I mean, you’re really just arguing the semantics of phrasing.
Developing the ability to see green through random mutation was potentially an evolutionary advantage that allowed them to become better adapted to survival. Which is what they meant by “needed.”
