I keep them around, they just aren't used for the act of bowling.
Back in high school I bowled in a league (my fathers family were all league bowlers going way back). I suffered a thumb injury (not bowling related) to my left thumb and the options were:
1. Stop bowling for that season.
2. Learn to bowl right handed.
3. Learn to bowl with just two fingers.
I went the third option and got good at it. By the time my thumb healed I was bowling better than than before the injury so I kept doing it. Now I can't even imagine trying to bowl with all three fingers. Once got into a shouting match because a club pro in the alley pro shop absolutely refused to drill me a new ball with just two finger holes. Since the ball was free from participation in some league or another I eventually had to relent and get all three fingers fitted even though I never used one of the holes.
