Yes, 1 g4? is the only white first move that loses by force.
With 1 f3 white can hold a draw.

That depends on which chess engine you use, a few years ago the strongest engines said that 1.f3 is the worst move, today they tell us that 1.g4 is the worst move.

Brother, first you got to understand that by pushing the f pawn, you open up a vulnerable diagonal for your king. So that's One of the MAIN reasons.
