Every time you touch a key you get the feedback you need to compensate for
drift, because you feel if you were to the right or to the left of the key
center or you hit the wrong key entirely.
The same for touch typing on a computer keyboard. You wouldn't be able to do
that on a touchscreen without tactile feedback where the keys actually are.
