What Does Fabric Conditioner Do? And Should I Use It?

I hear people on the internet recommend to not use Fabric Conditioner in their laundry to save the durability of the clothes. In my country, it was the norm to use Fabric Conditioner during laundry so I was at a lost.

Is it actually necessary?

    Products like “Downy” and “Bounce”(in the US) add fragrance and a waxy coating to clothing to make it smell good and feel softer. Some people think the wax makes towels and washcloths less absorbent. Some also have said that the product builds up on clothing over time.
