To be fair, it's trivially easy to learn cursive and it's basically always been an extension of penmanship.

I've never been in a situation where penmanship mattered. Typing skills on the other hand are abysmal across the board and hamper my coworkers constantly.

Great, learn it yourself if you're interested. Don't force it on kids over subjects that actually matter to them.
