I worry less about rain water causing the fabric to get weird than some weird chemical formula (yeah, yeah, acid rain, yadda yadda yadda). Just my two cents.
Well - the owners manual also doesn't mention anything about waxing the paint. And if you do nothing, the car will make it through the warranty period just fine. But will the paint look fantastic 10 years down the road? Nope.
I think this may be a similar scenario.

I try to wax my cars once a year.

That said - I've only used the top protection product once. Seems for me it's a once every few years application since the car is garaged and doesn't see much outdoor time with the top up or any rain or weather.
