Why not? Just because it's stylized art bends reality doesn't mean it's completely thrown out the window. How can you tell the folds are wrong if you have not observed how they are formed in real life? How can a person recognize a cartoon face without ever seeing a actual person?
The more skilled cartoonists tend to have strong background in realism. Those who stick to stylization and nothing else are not only in danger of picking up bad drawing habits, but have a harder time in transitioning to styles outside their own.
