Digital pen input contains more info than the resulting bitmap; strokes are lost while rasterizing.
That info was the reason how old devices were able to reliably recognize characters written by a stylus. It worked well even on prehistoric hardware, such as 16MHz CPU + 128 kB RAM in the first Palm PDA.
