I've always disliked that explanation, it's patronizing to the reader and the whole necessary evil angle is just off-putting.

Personally, i like to think of it as further proof that the Marvel Universe is a really, REALLY awful place to live in even if you count the Magic and Super-Science out. I mean, how crappy does your city have to be that the ONLY thing keeping it from falling into complete anarchy and chaos is the mob boss who rules it through fear?

All things considered I don't think Fisk is that bad given that he's at least able to keep a lid on things and protect New York from external threats (like when he stopped the Red Skull).

I don't see how it's patronizing, if you have one guy who's running most of organized crime in the city it stands to reason there'd be a huge power vacuum in his absence.
