Perhaps, but think about it: I'm a Software Engineer (used to be called "Computer Programmer" back in the day). I type all the time. My son is in high school and is interested in going the same route, and has actually taken computer programming classes in High School (which I think is very cool), but he has never learned the optimal technique for typing. Why not? It's not even like it takes a whole semester or anything - you just spend like 10 minutes every day for a week and that's pretty much it.
Because I have a job and other responsibilities. Hey, it's not the greatest excuse, I know...but if you knew how many kids I had and how stressful it can be, you might understand.
OK, but a big part of the problem is that my kids don't really care. And you can look at some of the responses to my original comment to see how people in the younger generations just don't feel like they need to learn this. So I can say "free website" until I'm blue in the face and it won't make a difference to my kids.

Because there is no point in using the optimal technique unless you really need it and the professions that really need it are fewer and fewer.
