I'd agree with you, but writing relatively clearly at speed has benefits in some types of exams (that are not multiple choice). It may also help if you choose to enter a profession which still relies on written notes (e.g., law or law enforcement). And digital handwriting hardware is way more accessible now (e.g. iPad and Pencil) so learning how to write more efficiently than printing isn't all useless -- at the very least, you'll probably have an easier time taking notes, say as a student.
