I've heard some schools are reintroducing it now, but that doesn't help those that never learned.

Good for you that your school was willing to adapt to your needs, but surely that was not the norm for millennials when they were in school. I never went to school in the US but I don't believe that classroom activities (tests, note taking, exercises, etc) were normally done on computers in the 90s/00s/early '10s...
So why did those kids stop using cursive, at a time when hand-writing was frequently needed? My point is that it can only have been taught wrong if it was not legible or fast enough for most kids to see a point in using it.
Or perhaps it's not actually needed.
I think it's the same reason that not everybody learns horse riding or basket weaving.
