I don't see a lot of people still writing with quills, and there's a reason for that, yet there have been no catastrophic consequences, excepting maybe for "Big Quill".
Personally, I think this veers into hyperbole a bit. The degradation in motor skills is barely measurable when compared to common tasks required of people today and we're talking about a skill that has less and less use cases every day.
I believe this is trying to judge a fish by how well it climbs a tree, in a lot of regards.
YMMV.
> degradation in motor skills
If writing was so important for motor skills then it is very weird that kids only needs this single exercise.
Why don't we have many different things to do with hands then?
Like gym lessions which teaches many different sports/exercises instead of doing many years of the same exercise.
