Years ago, one of the marks of an educated person was beautiful penmanship. Years ago, doctors were considered highly educated persons.
Yet their penmanship writing prescriptions was a standard joke.

It’s not how one writes, but how one thinks that matter....
And yes, I think in cursive terms and undertones

I think teaching cursive to children is very important for development. It teaches patience, hand eye coordination, and develops new neural pathways in the brain

When I’m at work I write (in cursive) in a logbook that is a legal document. Only the youngest engineers use block printing, which is what I was trained out of by halfway through grade 3. And their letter forms are often atrocious!
Because you don’t use it does not mean that it is unnecessary to all.
You also inadvertently made the point as to why learning cursive is important: If you can’t read or write it, how are you going to know what any and all documents written using cursive actually say?

The absence of cursive writing would not be so bad if those who “printed” knew the difference between upper and lowercase letters.
