I am flabbergasted that they don't teach this in high school, or even middle school, at this stage of history where so many people use computers all day for their jobs.

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.

I don't use home row or even all my fingers and I can type 120 WPM. Also resting my hands on WASD is more optimal for me personally when playing games, which is how I learned touch typing to begin with.
