eh, I don't know. Cursive is pretty rare nowadays. You also in my opinion do not really need the capital letters, and many of them look like their lowercase counterparts, but I take your point. I definitely think English can be tricky to learn, though, and feel lucky to speak it natively given that it is the lingua franca in many (perhaps most) contexts.

How many fonts are there? A couple hundred? Plus bold and italics.

There is some common base though.

E.g.: If you’ve seen the letter “o” in one variant, you’ve seen it in other variants too.

I don't think letters being in cursive is semantically important. Letter case is, somewhat.

I think Cyrillic doesn't even have letter-case, which I've often found interesting.
