Yes, because there is a social signaling component to not touch typing. I always wonder, "they couldn't be bothered to spend two weeks on a foundation skill, what else do they do the unnecessarily hard way?" Ten years ago I made my wife learn to touch type; she still says it was one of the best things I ever did for her. I once saw it tip the balance in a hiring situation, when we were on the fence about a candidate we were on the fence about. Of course, I'm typing this on a tablet, so maybe it doesn't matter anymore...
