Agreed.

Honestly you don’t even need most punctuation.

In about five minutes any literate English speaker can learn to read at full speed with no spaces or other punctuation. Or upside down. Or at an almost arbitrary angle.

I taught myself this when I was learning Japanese 30 years ago to prove a point. Now it’s merely an interesting trick but one with an interesting staying power: with zero practice I maintain the ability.

Punctuation was indeed a later addition to Latin, as well as lowercase letters.
