Since about a decade or so ago. It originally was provided as a separate packge,
but was moved into the Xorg server .deb as a default for all GPUs for which an
appropriate kernel module exists, mainly radeon, amdgpu, i915, xe & nouveau.

No real need, unless something breaks WRT using the modesetting that can be
worked
around by using another. For the 530, I have on occasion seen reports of more
favorable results from intel than from modesetting. My 620s both provide
entirely
satisfactory results from modesetting, as does my 730, and all those I have
older
than 530 that it supports.
