You're right that necessity shaped the practice, but that doesn't negate the emotional weight people still assign to handwritten letters today—because even if some wrote out of obligation, others wrote with genuine care, and that's what makes the tradition meaningful.

You're right that necessity shaped the practice, but the emotional weight still exists because people today choose to write letters despite easier options—so it's not just about obligation.

You're assuming that choosing to write a letter today proves emotional weight, but that's just a small group—most people still go for the quick option.

You're assuming that choosing to write a letter today proves emotional depth, but it's just a small group of people who still do it—hardly evidence of widespread sentiment.
