That 2008 article about the iPhone killing physical keyboards still bugs me

I dug up an old tech blog from 2008 that swore physical keyboards would beat touchscreens because people need to feel the keys. Meanwhile my phone's swipe typing just corrected three typos before I even hit send, and my last two laptops had zero keyboard travel. How do we still trust these hot takes when the people writing them never even used the tech they're trashing?

2008 BlackBerry users swore by tactile keys, but I still miss my old T9 on flip phones.
