You are absolutely correct, that is not required and has no impact on code
generation. It was done in the article in an attempt to be complete but it
is not required as you have discovered. I will update the article.

Applying the ecore profile with stereotypes etc. is required and does have
an impact on code generation.
There is extra information that can be added in the stereotypes and that
information has direct impact on code generation.
In some cases, the mere prescence of the stereotype has impact on code
generation.

Have a look at the UML2EcoreConverter in the processEcoreTaggedValue(...)
or in the body of the converter to see how the stereotypes are processed.
