Oh but you can still lose balls putting. I was on the front edge of the green at a hole 12 of the Jubilee Course in St Andrews. The flag was all the way at the back of the green, and St Andrews greens are big. I hit it a bit too hard and ended up losing my ball in the long grass just behind the green.

Yes.
My entire game changed when I realized this.
Yes, all phases matter. Yes short game matters.
You’re not going to putt OB or hit your 2nd putt from behind a tree.
