Maybe for an adult, but they literally spent two and a half years drilling it endlessly at my school and doomsaying about how you'd fail out if you didn't master it, only for me to move on to middle school and immediately be presented with my first typed essay assignment.

It's just such a silly hill to die on all so people who did learn it don't feel silly because nobody else reads it.

It sounds like the curriculum is a mess more than anything. You shouldn't be taught something you are not allowed to then use.
