As always, this is something people should evaluate for themselves rather than assuming a generalized study applies to them in particular. Myself, my handwriting is awful. It’s slow, illegible, and writing more than a sentence or two physically hurts my hand. It’s been this way for as long as I can remember, and it’s not for lack of practice. I practiced handwriting for sometimes hours a day growing up (not begrudgingly, I was serious about wanting to improve my handwriting), and my parents tried teaching me with different curriculums, different scripts, different techniques, different tools, etc. It was always miserable and my handwriting did not improve. Meanwhile, I can type at 150+ WPM. So, when taking notes, if I write by hand I can’t keep up with the speaker, miss details because I’m focused on writing, have to skip/abbreviate stuff, and end up with something illegible. If I type, I can properly digest what I’m hearing and write it out with nice Markdown/LaTex formatting, in a file that is legible, searchable, and doesn’t get wrinkled up in my backpack. I’d love to have better handwriting. The convenience and feel of pencil and paper is great, I don’t like having a screen in front of me while listening to someone talk, and good penmanship is something I respect a lot in others. But I’ve more or less given up on it at this point. If I actually care about remembering something, or want to be able to read it later, typed notes it is.
