Should they be tested on SSB, FM, RTTY, ATV, SSTV, and PSK31 also ??
Does not compute

We really are talking about license requirements as set by a governing body
as opposed to learning the required skills to operate a mode.

You hit it right on the head...."I personally think CW is an amazing
mode." However, many do not think it is "amazing". Just because they
disagree with you on this, does not mean they are "lazy".
The function of antenna's and building home brew antennas is also in the
written test. Let's make people writing the test be able to show the
instructor how to build every possible antenna ever designed. They may
be trapped behind a wall somewhere, and need to construct a J-Pole on
the spot!....good God....come out of the dark ages. If people want to
actually WORK CW, then they should be tested on it.
