Actual reading is super important; the letteredness of people has been in decline for decades, and while it's partially to blame on the shift in entertainment preferences, schools de-emphasising reading and understanding in favor of other skills has been a big factor as well.

Your remark about the suppliers wanting to get the kids "hooked" on their products isn't new btw, this was happening 20+ years ago already with MS Office and co.

Letteredness = literacy, right?

Do you have any evidence that schools in general are de-emphasizing reading and understanding? Anecdotally, my child's school places greater emphasis on reading and understanding (and writing) than my school did when I was young.
