Is preheating the basket actually necessary or a total myth?

I see folks on here insisting you gotta run the basket empty for 5 minutes before adding food, but my results with a cold start on chicken thighs came out just as crispy after 3 tries at 380F. The manual for my Cosori says nothing about preheating, yet every second recipe post makes it sound like a sacred step. Has anyone actually done a side by side test, or are we all just copying habits from our ovens without proof?
