Is workout necessary for being healthy?
According to the NHS - and the WHO and CDC say the same - muscle-strenghtening activity is more or less necessary (otherwise they would not recommend it for the general public) in order to "build and maintain strong bones, to regulate blood sugar and blood pressure and to help maintain a healthy weight".
Yet it seems to me that these goals can be achieved by non muscle-strengthening exercise, so why is it so important to strengthen muscles?

The reason strength training is necessary is right there in the paragraph you quote:
Muscle strength is necessary for daily activities
The point of muscular development is not just for bone strength, but for muscle strength. Muscles are useful in and of themselves, not just for their many benefits to other bodily functions.
