Wow that dates me a bit. I know how to do all those
things including how to cut a quill.

The typical high school kid today, when he has to "sign" his
name, prints it like a 2nd grader. In my day (1980s), kids had a
pretty developed signature at that age.
On the other hand, if there is no real purpose - why develop the
skill?
How many of us are competent with driving a 4-in-hand team of
horses?
Or what is the value of knowing how to start a car with a
carburetor?
Conversely, are you any better than me with the tiny, no-tactile
keyboard on a 'phone? It wouldn't take much to be better than
me! Meaning the skill of using a tiny keyboard is much more
practical than writing with a quill and ink well.
