> Cameras don't take point samples. That's an approximation
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.
They usually do, but their software decisions are not gospel. They don't change the nature of the underlying sensor, which grabs areas that are pretty square.
