If I didn't have a waste ink tank, in 2 years I would have accumulated a little over a pint of waste ink lurking somewhere at the bottom of my printer. To me that's a little scary. Making me think that adding a waste ink tank is a must or does waste ink disappear into thin air?

Of course ink solvents evaporate. That's a big part of why prints dry (a good thing), and heads clog (a bad thing). Printer manufacturers strategically place sponge-like ink traps at several sites within the printer so the ink does not haphazardly "lurk somewhere" at the bottom of your printer. Eventually (years) those sponges saturate with solids and gunk and have to be replaced.
