I'm going to have new carpet installed but I was wondering why I need
carpet in the closet.

You don't. I've taken it out of two closest so far and will in the others
as the carpet is replaced. Only time you see it is when the door is open
and you may have some stuff stored there anyway. . Tile is easier to clean.

Don't expect much of a price break though.
