Many proteins need additional sugars added to them. This is called glycosylation and is essential for many proteins and occurs in the Golgi, so if these proteins didn't pass through it there would be trouble. More importantly however is that many proteins need to be secreted, and they have to be secreted through the Golgi.
The membrane is continually being lost from the plasma membrane by endocytosis
The Golgi apparatus is the organelle that forms vesicles, known as secretory vesicles, that fuse with the plasma membrane. These vesicles contain proteins or lipids that are then released outside the cell.
No, prokaryotes do not have a Golgi apparatus.A Golgi apparatus consists of a stack of membranes in the form of flattened sacs. In prokaryotes, the only membrane is the one around the outside of the cytoplasm, the plasma membrane.

it is believed that the Golgi apparatus originated by invagination of the plasma membrane.

Golgi Apparatus
The Golgi Apparatus?
Ribosomes are not major components of the cell plasma membrane. However, the Golgi Apparatus and Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) are major components of the cell plasma membrane. The Golgi Apparatus is involved in modifying, sorting, and packaging proteins for secretion, while the ER is responsible for protein synthesis and lipid metabolism.
