I don't understand why these supports and other accessories are deemed necessary.
Wouldn't it simply be better and more healthy to learn correct playing posture?

I think you're missing the fact that your "correct playing posture" isn't really very good posture for prolonged playing as your back is in a twisted form. Raising the guitar in the classical position without raising the leg gets the ergonomic benefits of the classical playing position while maintaining a good back posture.
