No, what you’re missing is the source of his anger. He knows how to type, he just doesn’t want to have to admit it. You see, somewhere in the bowels of the ship, there’s a computer running Windows 3.11 that takes 5¼" floppies because the vendor has delivered the best hardware ever created for this task once and never bothered to release new software for it.
Outraged, but unable to change this because Starfleet won’t allow him to alter the officially licensed hardware, Scotty pretends this computer doesn’t exist, in the hopes of it one day breaking down so badly Starfleet will let him replace it with something he made himself.
Come to think about it, I’m not entirely sure if I’m talking about Star Trek or the real life US nuclear missile program. One of those uses 5¼" floppies, but then again Star Trek does predate those floppies…

He’s already replaced it, but has to keep the HW and remain proficient with it, in case Starfleet shows up for an inspection and he has to swap back to using it

Oh the amount of gold pressed latinum for the long term support of Windows 3.11
