We've had paper and pencil permitting unfettered symbolic representations for centuries. The reason we settled on text is not some accidental bottleneck caused by typewriters.

We settled on dense and terse modes of symbolic reasoning and typewriters and computers just reflect that.

The dream of unleashing cognition by breaking free of these constraints is backwards. The friction and the constraints are why and how we can do things, not what impedes us doing things. If we were all floating on high dimensional frictionless spaces we would be able to represent anything and do nothing.
