I do not recall my reference books (Bentley and 101 Projects) mention to use the locktite. Maybe shops use it as it is not convenient for customers to come back for retorque and just to be safe when they don't?

Not using thread locker on a critical fastener, like an axle bolt, is a mistake.
Do it right. Do it once.
Nothing more to say...
