Never is a very strong word. I'm not a terribly fast typist but I intentionally trained to be faster because at times I wanted to whip out some stuff and the thought of typing it all out just annoyed me since it took too long. I think typing speed matters and saying it doesn't is a lie. At the very least if you have a faster baseline then typing stuff is more relaxing instead of just a chore.

An often repeated point on this forum: A lot of our comms are text. You don't want stall and lose attention to comms. Makes sense to train and have the flow on auto.

		I've never had an issue where communication with my team has been hindered due to my typing speed not being high enough. If anything, I've been in plenty of text-based communications where it might have been beneficial for everyone to slow down a bit in how quickly they were sending messages in favor of more thoughtfully reading through everything before responding.

I'm sure people's experiences vary here, but for me, it absolutely never has been a bottleneck in any circumstance.
