I'd guess they buy in Wacom EMR Pens as sales require and have a load of reMarkables they need to sell.
It's old, and clunky even with latest Firmware. Also the Notebook now accepts typed input from the touch screen and never converted pen handwriting, it was just a sketch pad.
Obviously if you want to annotate the PDF you need the Wacom EMR Pen.

I think the Scribe is better value now, even though it's about $280 to $450 depending on options, though I don't think it does onboard handwriting to text conversion either. I seriously considered a Scribe simply for PDF proofing, but I can't be sending the PDFs to Amazon.

I don't miss the reMarkable. I must see what use, if any, it's getting. That family has a Sage, Nia, Sony PRS-T2 and even an LCD Binatone ereader. All better to read novels / epubs on.
