I would assume maybe it because of history and school system being shitty.

Why did it STOP being a requirement in schools is my question. Internationally, it’s required in elementary school, in a lot of countries.
It’s a way of writing that’s faster than trying to mimic the appearance of typed letters by hand, and despite computers and printed materials, being able to write is still a basic necessity. Linking the letters together (the basics of what cursive is), makes you actually write faster, because the brain gets used to just going with the flow of the words instead of stopping to put down each letter.
The schools try to make the kids write prettily, but it’s not about pretty as much as it is about being able to write relatively fast, and at least somewhat legibly.
