Typing (of course the right way) is a skill acquired through constant practice.
This helps you to increase your mental alertness, focus and give attention to detail, increases concentration, helps you to read and type (2 actions at a time) at the same time (kind of multi-tasking skill) which is not acquired by everyone.
This is a special quality of people who type. Any job which requires the above qualities to perform it effectively will undersand the value of typing, since this is kind of a manual job (even though only fingers are involved), which increases efficiency and helps in time management as well.
