I imagine it probably has. It takes me more time to type things on a smartphone virtual keyboard, so I tend to not write as much on a virtual keyboard.

That's a good way to describe it.
Several years ago, I started playing some online trivia games which are run by a company that hosts trivia games in-person and online. I met a group of people there, and now normally we play the trivia games together (or maybe some of us on separate teams). Sometimes we also like to play Jackbox games online together. If you aren't familiar, Jackbox games are party games you can play on a computer, as an alternative to board games:

It's just a fun thing to do to pass the time.. There are a couple games that involve typing speed, and many of them don't like playing those against me because they typically use their phones and I usually play on my computer with a physical keyboard so I end up typing a lot faster than they do. I know they all probably have laptops too (which they may even be using to watch the game being shared via Zoom), and I've wondered why they prefer to play the game with their phones.
