The prevelance of touchscreens much rather results in people lacking skills/efficiency/speed when using a regular computer keyboard
Ironically, I can almost type as fast on my phone (102 WPM PB) as I can on most keyboards (110 WPM PB), and that's with my weird improper method of touch typing. These scores are for the 15 second word test on MonkeyType.
I assume that's SwiftKey/GBoard typing more than you, though? How fast are you on a computer with autocorrection turned on?
thing is, for my dialect of German, autocorrect is less than useful, so for me, typing Bavarian on a phone keyboard is certainly the fastest at around 150 wpm, trumping english or german on any other board, probably because it exactly matches the way I speak and I've been doing it for 13 years
