Cleaning and flushing fuel injectors

I did 285,000 km in my last car, a Toyota Camry, without ever touching the injectors, but at every service of my Toyota Aurion I am advised to have the injectors flushed and cleaned (at $130). Is it really necessary?

There are two schools of thought here. One is that by regularly   cleaning the injectors you will avoid trouble if they clog up, the   other is that it's the dealer selling you an unnecessary service to   make more on the car service. I tend to go along with the latter.
