I think that you overestimate theory.
Most of the players who play chess do not study chess openings and there are
masters who do not study theory in the last years and use their experience.

Chess opening knowledge is of course an advantage but I think that it is a
mistake to invest most of your time on opening theory if you want to get
progress.
