It just makes other people’s writing harder to read. And do you really save that much time writing cursive vs in print? Like a few seconds at most. But a lot of us are taught cursive early in our lives. Why?
Fyi; this is a question about the practically of cursive, not calligraphy itself. I know a lot of cursive writing can be very pretty and readable, but most people don’t write like that

I have thought about this before and wondered if, at some point in the future, we would need to have college level cursive courses for those subjects that would deal with old records, reading personal journals and letters, pretty much anything to do with historical research. The skill of reading cursive will still be needed long after writing long hand is no longer necessary because of technology. Even digitized records are sometimes scans of documents, so not ‘translated’ into a font.
