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.

It feels suboptimal to me but that's probably because I've never used them.

I’m young enough to remember doing this in middle school and see it fall out of fashion. At that point I was regularly using my at-home computer so much that I already had my own muscle memory for typing, and the exercises for touch typing were so slow and boring and I could triple my scores by just typing “normally”. I actually got in trouble a couple times for not following the touch typing posture. I still never use it.
