You’re confusing the action of typing with the skill of typing.
If one is required to perform the action of typing regularly for their job then one would hope they have skill at it
Every job I've ever interviewed for that wasn't physical labor asked for my typing speed and took my incredibly fast speed as a big bonus, even the ones where typing was only a minor part of what I would have been doing
It sounds like you are implying you have entered a wide range of fields and can speak for multiple industries about typing.
To me it seems like you have done many entry level positions which yes, most require a lot of typing. I know it’s hard to imagine but there are a lot of blue collar jobs that use computers but don’t care if you type fast. Did you know the mechanic that changes your oil uses a computer?
I've done a lot of office positions, which require a lot of typing. The level of the job isn't nearly as important as the field
Cool with the condescension, you're nowhere near in the right enough for it. Speed isn't the only skill in typing, as well
