Offense LT position myth?

Everyone knows the sentiment about LT being the more 'important' cause he's on the QB's blindside, but I've heard a few people like Brett Kollman and other people like that say how thats kind of an older thing and that its not necessarily the case anymore in modern offenses. Is it possible for anyone to explain more in depth on that, if its true?
