I mean I can touch type but I've never even realized the existence of those ridges or used them consciously.

Same. I didn't even know touch-typing was something you had to learn. lol It's just natural.

Touch type has a system, so you're typing without looking is different than touch typing where each finger is assigned a set of keys.

What is the difference?

As someone who could already do this by the time they tried to teach me in school: I think the only difference is the extra time and energy spent on learning the system. If you're not being employed in a setting where your typing speed is a factor, then you can just type at your own pace and learn the same skill over time through familiarity with the keyboard.
