Besides coded and Melody of Memories (and that has an ending that matters to the story) they are all main games. Saying that you don't need to play them to understand is wrong. They are all important.

They certainly were. As much so as all the Star Wars ones in between its main movies and trilogy. Theyre important and add to the story but are still spin offs none-the-less.

For KH while the first few ones werent necessary to understand and enjoy its story that changed post KH2. It didnt help that they released the games across multiple platforms and generations.
As most fans likely dont own both a vita to play BBS or a DS for KH 369(?) days.

And even if they did KH3 story was terrible regardless. So there wasnt even any pay off for it.
