Math is not necessary if you are a webdeveloper for example. But I absolutely disagree for datascience: without having a solid statistical and epistemological background in probability, I would forbid to hire you for that kind of job ;)
As a "webdeveloper" I have used math principles uncountable times. Maybe you are talking about wordpress users. I honestly think that anything that have the word developer in it, it is easier if you have a good math basis.
What type of scenario would typical web development work require math skills beyond the basics (i.e. what might be taught in a high school / secondary school)?
when I was working as a "web developer" with large scale systems, math skills come into play a lot more often than I would think. I have noticed that I use a lot of different types of math all the time (calc, stats, DM). Math skill also help when you are testing at big companies that want to ensure you understand how a lot of things work.

Completely agreed. There are too many ways for data science to go wrong if you can’t think about how it works.

Anything that would require knowing about set/group theory, stats but then it depends on the project.
