The average American types around 40wpm, so definitely not touch typing. People definitely get by without learning it.

I work in a huge variety of fields and interact with people from all places in US society. My guess would be maybe 25-35% of people I've worked with use touch typing. Everyone chicken pecks.

Most people use phones nowadays and rarely use a physical keyboard. It just isn't that important to most people. They can get by without it.
