The rule was changed a few years ago. Before Covid.
PGA thought it would make the game more attractive to people. Less stuffy.
Covid also allowed many course to do a no touch pin.
Personally, I think it messes with the air. On slow putts, it can add pressure between the ball and the pin. Stopping the ball from going in. At least that is what happens when I play.
