I think it depends on where you live, what you yourself requires and in what kind of region your home is situated in.
Where I am in Scotland, we live in a very naturally damp region, so having a humidifier is eliminated unless you might own a musical instrument like a piano (like i do) or anything made out of wood that needs a certain degree of moisture. But then I'm also in the country, away from towns with pollution and in general air and water here is normally very clean and clear.
But therein, having too much moisture in homes can lead to health problems as well as mildew and mould. It's not easy to pinpoint if a home is either too damp or dry even if there is unwanted structural condensation.
In short, the health problems that relate to dryness or a home being too damp with air is nothing compared to the breathing difficulties caused by dust. Dust can aggravate heart and lung problems as well as of course breathing problems, asthma and also damage the lungs.
