“Why is that difference important?”
Because ears pretty much work the same with men and women.
Sexual response works quite differently.
” I just wonder why it is that meeting a wife’s needs is supposed to be automatic, while meeting the husband’s needs is supposed to be something that is “earned”.”
I’m not sure what you mean here.
I don’t think it is an “either” “or” situation.
I think they both can get what they want and what they need, if they simply start thinking about one another.
A woman who feels her husband isn’t listening to her SHOULD stop and ask herself if she is hindering communication.
A man who isn’t getting any might want to consider his approach a little better.
Win - win

I don't agree with the first statement- I believe men and women approach communication differently. But there's no need to quibble over the details since you don't seem to buy into the double-standard I was describing... and it's that double-standard that I object to.
