I've worked on both for the day job.
Also so called cloud services have multiple users and a remote client vs one user and local GUI. They are a horror to develop and debug.

I too have relevant work experience, and I will stand by my opinion. If you are ever in California, please look me up and we can trade stories.
But none of that is relevant because there are facts about Scribe that weigh in here, namely that Notebook format does not store text. It is just a series of 1 or more pages, each with zero or more strokes, which contain 1 or more points, with attributes (x, y, timestamp, thickness, and optionally pressure and tilt). Even what looks like text in Templates is just strokes.
They could do on device handwriting OCR (the Fire 11 Max does), but what would they do with the text without changing the format and immediately introducing all sorts of complexity that they decided early was not necessary for modeling a pencil and paper experience. (well, they could generate an index, that would be nice).
