Downsampling helps to reduce the shape but why downsampling is needed in Unet segmentation architecture?

Most of modern convolution neural network architectures use max-pooling to downsample (such as U-Net), not depending only on the stride to achieve this because pooling introduces a small location invariance to the network architecture and is faster to compute.
This might provide you more information.
