I'm currently waiting for a load of laundry to dry. I just folded my whites. I've been living in my house for five years and I can count one hand the number of socks I've lost.
The myth is of the sock monster stealing one sock from a pair. I doubt it. If you're careful enough you shouldn't lose a sock.
Of course I've come across a missing sock, but it was soon found. It may have been overlooked at the bottom of the hamper or mixed in with the white, but they've been found. I've seen them fall between the drier and the washer, but they were still located in time to match the missing pair.
I don't think it's because of the sock vortex. I just think we get too lazy to care.
