Maybe it just speaks to how easy it is for human beings to fall into habits, and how we are often too lazy (or ignorant) to stop those habits when the reason for their existence goes away. On my old flip phone you needed to press several keys to create each letter, but even then I still texted with full words. But then again, I'm a writer and editor, and the whole txt spk thing annoys me.

Bright Blessings!
