Do Mac hard drives need to be defragmented?
macOS does not include a built-in defragmentation tool
because it is deemed unnecessary. macOS is designed to
handle file fragmentation automatically, especially for
small files. Using an external defragmentation tool on
a Mac is not recommended.

That's correct. Since HFS+, Apple's Mac-native file systems
automatically defragment themselves, and using third-party
defragmentation utilities isn't recommended. Lots of detail here about
it, for anyone interested:
