I don't think that's a fair comparison. Forcing hand writing instead of typing is an artificial limitation not related to the core skill set of presenting. I would consider that like telling a graphical artist, sorry no wacom, you can only use this 2 button mouse. Sure, they can likely improve their mousing skills over time, but what is the benefit?
I'm dysgraphic and have typed every school report in since 3rd grade, so perhaps my view is biased on this matter. I remember being unable to learn cursive and my teachers telling my parents "Don't worry, by the time he's an adult everyone will type everything.". Their prediction has held true. Cursive is dead, removed from common core. Handwriting is up next. In my adult life, the only thing I've had to hand write other than my signature has been a few checks.
Forcing hand writing is like forcing modern day car drivers to only take a horse and buggy to work. They could get better at it, but why?
