I’ve been practicing this. In 30 years when computer input is primarily voice and touchscreens, we’ll be the only ones left. It’ll be like knowing how to use Morse code with a wireless telegraph.
Touch typing is an absolute must, and I can’t imagine how anybody uses a keyboard without it. Though it is fun to see people’s reactions as you stare them in the face to hold a conversation while never breaking your keystrokes.
Recently I got a CharaChorder though, so I have to completely relearn typing. I definitely forgot how hard it can be at first.
I’m a software dev and one of my coworkers is a hunt and peck typist. I couldn’t function that way. He’s actually incredibly fast though, so it works for him. Definitely wouldn’t for me.

Fun fact: My left hand is on gamer pose wasd for typing (not to f position). Doesn’t really hinder me from speedy touch typing.
I’m more of a QWER gamer.
You strafe with Q and E?
