Cameras don't take point samples. That's an approximation, just as inaccurate as a rectangle approximation.
And for pixel art, the intent is usually far from points on a smooth color territory.
Multiple interpretations matter within different contexts inside the computer context.

They use a physical process to attempt to determine light at a single point. That’s their model they try to approximate.

And notice that to display pixel art you need to tell it to interpret the image data differently.
Also it has a vastly different appearance on a CRT where it was designed which is less like a rectangle.

According to who?
A naked camera sensor with lens sure doesn't do that, it collects squares of light, usually in a mosaic of different colors. Any point approximation would have to be in software.
Yep, cameras filter the input from sensors.

Circuits can process signals too.
