Or people just don't need to write as much, especially not in cursive since it only adds legibility problems.
I think the exact opposite, most people's (who are old enough to have learned cursive) handwriting are more legible in cursive. A huge amount of people print AWFULLY.
Meanwhile in reality... millions of documents with cursive writing on them from decades ago aren't legible enough to be transcribed. Being taught cursive DOES NOT mean your cursive is any good. It is far easier for most people to read and write in print which is why you are no longer allowed to use it on any documents of consequence aside from a signature.
Every doctor signature ever disagrees
how is handwriting more legible in cursive? It looks nothing like the letters we are used to in print
That’s got to just be practice though, right? If you write primarily in cursive, it’s going to look better. Nowadays, people hardly write at all. As long as I can read my handwriting, it doesn’t really matter in my day-to-day life.

(I agree)
Cursive is much faster to write.
