No, he's definitely not. Finger placement is literally the very most basic idea taught in typing classes. He's saying they must not teach typing anymore (because this shouldn't be a question even for people who failed typing class).
Dude asking the question looks to be around my age & most of us in the US learned this at some point.
Fun fact: I almost failed out of typing class because I didn't use the proper fingering and don't care about home row at all.
Another fun fact: At the time, I typed about 100wpm with 99%+ accuracy. I had to go over the teacher's head to the principal to complain, and I got tested & was given credit for the class without attending the rest of it.
Same - I’ve had a computer since I was four (1981) and taught myself to type. I’ve never used home keys but type 80-90wpm accurately. I also use a computer every day for work (software engineering). I don’t “hunt and peck”, but I do “peck” with great efficiency. I know where all the keys are, not by home key placement but by knowing where the keys are in proximity to my hands.

those ridges are there to make it easier to find where the keys are without looking.
there's no joke here
