Some commercial software are design with specific version of Oracle server and use specific files (like dll) too. For example, if you have a product design to work with Sql*Net 7.2. and you want to upgrade your server to 7.3.3 version, no problem, but when you upgrade your client to 7.3, you can get some problem with this product. The Required Support Files 7.2 provide compatibility for this kind of software... Install RSF only if you need it, but there are no problem to install it without using it !
