Maybe I'm not getting what you are saying. But a rasterized text has a lot more information about each character than the raw ASCII values. If you halve the resolution or add compression artifacts an OCR will still pick it up. If they rendered raw binary data they would have to add lots of redundant information as well as spreading it out over a large enough area. Maybe that's what you meant but didn't fit the 'trivially to do' part for me. Seems a lot easier to just render the text.
