I don't know the implementation in detail but I think that the watcher is watching for new SNHost and tells SNIs that new host is available, so that they could register with it. So I'd say it is desired that this service always runs.

Can I ask how would this be autostarted? It doesn't install dbus service file (also the .desktop has autoload=true so it should be always present)

Because Plasma appends the PID, we cannot check directly for it being present on the bus, so we check the org.kde.StatusNotifierWatcher.IsStatusNotifierHostRegistered property that's meant to be used for this.
