It is my understanding that this is to prevent water from siphoning from
your sink into your dishwasher. This could introduce dirty water onto your
dishes. In some places, what you have seems to be required. In other
places, the hose to the dishwasher is just looped up high under the counter
to discourage siphoning without an actual air gap. This has nothing to do
with the disposal, the same issue would exist even without one.
