You can scoff but back in the old days before computers were that common academic papers were required to be printed not in cursive because it was hard to read cursive.

So academia has always used print.

Seriously go look at scans of research papers written in the 19th century, and tell me that you can understand a word of what they're saying.

That makes sense, I used to use printed small caps for my revision notes for the same reason.
