I write at 50 wpm, type at 100, and speak at 150, a brain interface would have to be 300 or more to make it worth wearing another wearable.

That's surprising to me. I mean, if I could put on a headband or hat and "type," hands free and wirelessly, on any connected Bluetooth device, that would be pretty incredible even if it only went at a portion of my current speed/accuracy.

Obviously, that's still sci fi at this point, but that's what you seem to be rejecting here.

To each their own, I guess.

I type only slightly.slower than I think, so really no keyboard interface would be worth my while.
This is a really good point, I work in an area that requires careful written communication. So sometimes my thought output is only five words per minute, and that includes multiple revisions which would look crazy using a brain interface. :)
