Bang on. If the scene contributes and means something it goes in. Nowadays even if you're writing at a niche then internet publishing means that eventually, more of the people in that niche can reach you. Because it's the itnernet, so potentially, you can reach any of them in the world with a computer.... if that makes sense.
