I have driven Sticks almost since I was born about 136 years ago and I never rev matched any of them. I am sure it's a cool thing but hardly necessary for sucessfully driving a stick. One could argue that you could use the difference in RPMs to help the car slow down. I can only see the benefit of rev matching if you are dropping from a high gear into a much lower gear which you really should try to avoid unless you are racing then rev matching would be of some benefit. But I know that many of your like to rev your engines before shifting so if it makes you happy and it works for you why not
