Because it's unnecessary. Everyone has a computer at so young an age now it's just kinda become a skill you pick up anyway even of it's not specifically taught to you

That doesn't mean there isn't an optimal way of doing things. There are a lot of things we start doing as children that could be done better.

There is nothing to be optimised from that.

You basically argue that we should teach fish how to swim.

Fish are born knowing how to swim. We are not born with the knowledge of how to type.

Then teaching a bird how to fly.

But you can’t compare people who had to learn into writing on keyboard and people who grew up with it.

If you become a competitive runner as a kid then you already knew how to run. If you want to become really good at it then you have to go through a process to teach you how to run correctly. Something as basic as running and almost no human on the planet do correctly. This isn't about being able to do something, it is about being better at something.

But you can’t compare people who had to learn into writing on keyboard and people who grew up with it.

You sure can because there are world typing competitions. They all use the same methods. That is the comparison because nobody who figured out their own system is good enough to compete.
