Cursive is a dying art form because the reason for cursive to even be worth using is long obsolete. Cursive became a thing because of quill pens and fountain pens, where you can't stop the ink from flowing. The invention of the ballpoint pen, where you have to put effort into making the ink come out, defeated the purpose of cursive.

Of course, handwriting as a whole is a slowly-fading art form thanks to computers; it'll always be necessary, but people increasingly don't care about it beyond the bare minimum necessary for communication.
