touch type is just muscle memory - you absolutely can touch type with physical keyboards once you learn how.
touch typing on a virtual keyboard on a flat glass screen is hard because they keys are less accurate and don't give you feedback to whether you actually hit a key or not. So you CAN touch type on a screen, just with errors. Way too many errors. Which is why autocorrect is aggressive on all phones these days.
Back when we had physical keyboards on every phone, we didn't need autocorrect because the typing was accurate.
