What good does a steel shaft do?
It could provide a feel that the golfer is looking for, offer different weight distribution, different shaft flex, filter out vibrations. Ultimately it is another fitting aspect of a putter to help a player make more putts.

Nothing really, other than making the putter lighter.  Ive gamed a few JDM putters with graphite shafts and theyre fine but they have kind of a strangle feel to them.

The Stroke Lab shafts are mostly graphite and their advertised reason is it allows them to redistribute the weight of the shaft to allow for greater stability. I assume they can make the head a bit heavier and keep a similar feel by counter-balancing the shaft. The Stability shaft is intended to increase torsional stiffness so the head rotates less on off-center strikes, keeping the ball on line better.

If you believe the stability shaft hype... Then quite a bit.
