Indeed. That's why I didn't also add a question mark.
Need is directly in opposition to please. This makes your addition an ironic use of please, and not a polite one, which actually fits the ops observation better than the initial comment did.
Maybe in some cases, but in this case the use of "need" is insincere in the first place. A please at the end softens and adds a little bit of humility to what was originally a somewhat hostile response.
