Cursive handwriting is obsolete, but the fact that no one uses it isn't the cause. Cursive handwriting was meant for fountain pens, which only need to contact paper (not be pressed down on it) to write.
Personally I have always found it sort of pointless, and even though I did learn it and used it throughout my K-12 experience when assignments required it I very much preferred to type out my work. It just felt cleaner and more readable.
