Perhaps 'lends itself readily' would be more fitting to say than 'requires', 
if the OP was referring to the the overhead of generating tiles 
(larger-than-necessary map images, actually) if you don't have metatiles. 
Caching would offset this drawback. I do not agree though that caching is 
necessary in all scenarios or is the only benefit from tiles (although it IS 
the most common use for them nowadays).
