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

Touch typing does in fact require teaching. In the UK alone, only 20% of people can touch type fluently (https://touchtypeit.co.uk/just-how-many-people-can-touch-type). In the US, I saw a stat somewhere that was even lower at 10%, but I can't find it again. I wouldn't be surprised if that's accurate though.
