For sensible output, it is a requirement. Contour and contourf (like imshow, pcolor, and pcolormesh) work with gridded data. Gridding is the responsibility of the user. It can be done in many different ways, so it makes sense to keep the gridding separate from the display of the gridded data. If there is a check--and I am not convinced there should be--it should provide only a warning. It is perfectly reasonable for a person to take a dataset and contour it even if the grid is not monotonic. Sometimes one wants to get a quick look at raw input, complete with errors.
