By the time I got a HAM license that I only used for digital transmissions, several people taking the test with me were "old-timers" who were lamenting that you didn't need to know CW to get a license.
There is apparently still a thriving CW community, and some of them use auto-keying now, so you don't need the manual dexterity any more.
