Meet the Engineer Preserving The Last Analog Motion Graphics Machine

I certainly agree with the idea of not being better in an absolute sense, not sure I agree with both use cases. Graphics are built around digital representations of colours and shapes, Vectors are incredibly easy ways to represent 2d graphics, and are very easy to manipulate for digital computers. Polygons were quickly discovered as a memory efficient way of doing the same things in the 3d space. Analogue graphics representation or manipulation became outdated very quickly. For example ▶ this video shows how much old analogue machinery is required to replicate what could currently be done by most phones. I don't know enough about your other possible use case to comment on it.
