Works fine with gestural input a.k.a. the old Graffiti format, originally from Palm.

That worked with a stylus rather than fingertip input.
The stylus has a finer point-resolution than a finger, making for more effective touch actions.
I do miss my old PalmOS devices....
Plenty of tablets and touchscreens support stylus input though, including Apple Pencil.
That wasn't my point.
Graffiti is not possible without a stylus, or at the very least is vastly less effective.
Android and iOS are both "finger first" interfaces. You can use a stylus, but you don't have to. And everything is designed around finger-fatness. Icons, gestures, on-screen keyboard.
