It’s a parliamentary procedure that is one option for passing legislation. Obviously it doesn’t work when one or more member refuses to make it unanimous. That’s what some GOP members did last week. Do some googling on “unanimous consent” legislating.

Why would it ever be done or needed when a majority is only needed?

Nothing you or anyone is saying makes sense.
