    “you would rarely encounter actual written Hiragana” is outright false. It is nearly impossible to write a full grammatically correct sentence in modern Japanese without the use of Hiragana, as Hiragana are used for subject and object markers, conjugation of verbs, question and assertion markers, possessives, adjectives, negation, and many many more grammatical constructs.
