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.
> which grabs areas
And outputs what? Just because the input is an area does not mean the output is an area.
What it if it outputs the peak of the distribution across the area?
> that are pretty square.
If we look at a camera sensor and do not see a uniform grid of packed area elements would that convince you?
I notice you haven’t shared any criticism of the point model - widely understood by the field.
