We can’t read the mind of your hiring manager, but most places don’t strictly require a LinkedIn.

However, it’s so easy that you might as well just do it. You can have it set up and filled out in 10 minutes and it’s an easy link for people to pass around when discussing you as a candidate.

yes, but no, it isn't "just 10 minutes", you should give it the care and attention you'd give to your cv or any other professional presentation of yourself.

Right, but if you're looking for a job, you've already prepared your CV, so you have already written the content for your LinkedIn profile.
