Yes my original statement is correct. I personally see no point to Squat or Deadlift unless one is trying to do competitive powerlifting. The injury risk to reward ratio isn’t there for me. You don’t need those movements for bodybuilding

"isn't there for me". So your statement is correct for you.

Squats are an amazing workout. I think people should put form before weight, but even lighter weight is more beneficial compared to the leg press machine/rack.
