It might not be a limiting factor as much as an enabling factor.
Sometimes being able to type fast can also mean thinking broad or deep quickly.
Coding at WPM is very different than communicating at WPM. The latter might be valuable.
If you can type faster you can help teammates a bit more easily.
WPM isn’t a high score for me, but there’s probably a floor.
Virtual assistants for example is one area where the average of 3 typeracers can be interesting.
In fairness to your comment, the ability to speak to text accurately can be faster than typing too, and maybe it’s a combination of clarity meeting WPM.
