The role of the school is to form the future workforce and future citizens. This holds true for 80% of people. Do these future people need to read and interpret from static text? Or they need to interact with written media in a form that is suitable to the final objective that is enabled by reading? Unless done for leasure, reading was never the objective. Reading is how we transfer concepts from one brain to another. If the input medium can now be cheaply and consistently altered by the receiving person to fit their preference or the overall objective, what's the point of reading static text? If the same essays can be turned into a video, or a tweetorial, or a podcast episode, or another form of expression - what's the point of reading the static text? Especially in a society in which most of the test will be authored by AI, what's the point? Now, combine this with the fact that smartphone notifications created generations of ADHD'ers.
