All I was saying that similar mishaps can befall paper tickets and they are
smaller and easier to mislay inadvertently. So both methods are subject to
risks that can be guarded against.

I carry an external battery pack precisely to ensure my phone keeps working
all day.

Which itself also needs to be charged up, not mislaid and remembered!

I carry such a pack, but when I tried to use it recently, it was flat,
despite having just been recharged. It turns out that it will no longer
hold a charge, and is basically now junk. So you can add another step to
your checklist: occasionally check that the pack still works!
