It maybe if you grew up writing with pencil or typing.
For me writing is huge help in retaining information. I also know people who swear by typing but they all are younger who grew up with computers.
Also the handwritten notes don’t need to write everything in alphabets. The biggest advantage of writing is freeform. I could draw a diagram or other doodles. My old notes of drawings of the classroom, random objects, etc. I think those doodles helped me retain some information.
