ETF bond terms - short, medium, long - does it matter?

When we leave look at bond or muni etfs, they may come in flavors like short term , mid term or long term bond etfs.

Does the bond term matter to how long you hold the etf? Being an etf, my thought was no- I could get in and get out at any point, without giving up on any yield- because it’s a large collection of bonds with varying maturities.

Just wanted to check with the community.
