I've said the same, with a caveat.

It depends on how long the last coat has dried. Read the can, most
allow a recoating "window" where you don't need to scuff sand. After
the window ends, scuffing is required.

I've seen this on the water based poly I recently used. The basis is that
if the finish fully cures and you apply another coat without sanding, poly
won't make a bond with cured poly. You need to sand it to provide some
"tooth" for the finish to grab onto.
