There's a lot of stuff in CDE that you can't get without purchasing it.
Whether you need it or not is another question; as is whether you can
accomplish most, if not all, of the same stuff using other approaches. Of
course, given enough time and effort, there's nothing technically
preventing someone from duplicating the functionality of CDE, but it would
be a monumental effort.
So, if you think things like Desktop Korn Shell, and application builders,
and integrated mail, editors, etc., etc. and commonality with commercial
Unix desktops are important, you better shell out the money for CDE.
