Writing cursively isn't the same thing as typing on a keyboard. I don't see one as a replacement for the other.
From a compositional standpoint, I think it puts someone at a disadvantage if they didn't know how to write cursively. In my own experience, writing something out by hand has a different outcome than if I typed it out.
I also agree with what you say about motor skills. This is something of an issue with children of young ages using computers vs. hands-on learning in terms of their development.
