"How good are you at the physical keyboard which confounds a lot of people?"
"Quite good, I think if you stick with it a little while you get quite good at it and the autocorrection is quite good"
He's saying people should be using the virtual keyboard despite being confounded
Saying "if you stick with it for a while, it is quite good" when asked "how good is the keyboard" is NOT telling people they should use the virtual keyboard for everything they do.
You're reading WAY too much into his response to a subjective question that was NOT "do you think people should ditch physical keyboards?"

OK so Mr. Cook isn't in to real computers. He prefers Apple's toy computers instead. That's OK, I just hope Apple continues to support more traditional computer users.
My favorite input device is Apple's full-size wired keyboard.
A more accurate statement would be "real computers" are not optimal for 80% of Tim's daily workload.
Your workload may be similar. Your workload may be different. Mine for one is certainly different. I'm an enterprise network administrator.
An iPad is no good for most of what I do. That doesn't mean i'm going to interpret a CEO who loves his iPad as being out of touch with reality. It is highly dependent on what you do.
A friend is a paramedic. For what he does (attending to accidents, out in the real world), the iPad is great (supplied as standard issue by his employer, no less). Does he not do real work?
