Whenever you have applications were implementations are plentiful the only real differentiation you can do without creating a different user experience is the technologies used to develop it. The importance of which in people’s perspective is several things, mostly supporting technologies they like and want to see grow and possibly being skilled in the underlying technologies to actually contribute back.

Certain technologies are also just hot garbage, I swear to God if I have to install another electron app for some messaging platform I will shit myself.

Touch typing does in fact require teaching. In the UK alone, only 20% of people can touch type fluently (https://touchtypeit.co.uk/just-how-many-people-can-touch-type). In the US, I saw a stat somewhere that was even lower at 10%, but I can’t find it again. I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s accurate though.

There’s no need to learn cursive, it serves no functional purpose that typing cannot match. Other than your signature, which… you have to learn how to do separate to cursive anyway to protect yourself from fraud by making it as unique and as difficult to replicate as possible.

So you are incapable of writing print, at all? 😐
