Do keywords in a URL matter once the page is indexed?

John Muller shared some feedback about the importance of keywords in a URL once it is indexed.

The SEO effect of keywords in the URL is minimal once the content is indexed. Make URLs that work for your users, not for SEO. Also, changing URLs on an existing site is a site-migration & it will take time/fluctuations to be reprocessed, so I’d avoid that unless it’s critical.
