Hotplug & shebang

Could someone please explain if and when is shebang needed in a hotplug script?
There is no mention in the documentation, so one could conclude that it is not needed at all.
In a 19.07 installation, I see that 00-netstate script does not include shebang while 20-firewall script does, the main difference I can see being that the first uses only uci commands.
Is this for script compatibility with other Linux distributions?
I tested a script with ifup and ip route commands, and it works without shebang.

In case of hotplug, shebang is redundant and will be ignored as the scripts are sourced:
