do we need access port configuration on trunk port for native vlan

why do we need the access port to be a trunk? What is the scenario here? Are you extending Layer 2 to another switch, or does the server need two VLANs?

If this is voice and data VLAN, you can use access port data and VLAN.

As you mentioned, you do not need the access port config if you extend the VLAN to another device.

switchport trunk native vlan 200

This may required or may not, based on the requirement,
