I agree completely.
Drew for example plays with a very wide VP$IP / PFR margin. Certainly not an 'FTR endorsed PF stat', but he beats 200NL.
Postflop is where the big monies are lost and won, and there isn't a stat that comments on postflop skill. (AF maybe at the extreme ends, but even so...)
That being said -- I'm sure we all have preflop leaks which affect winrate slightly, but nitpicking your preflop game when you've got (likely) bigger postflop leaks is like trying to repair a nail hole in a tire full of bullets.
