I didn't know tablets had existed for decades.

Yes, they have. I even had some of them.

The first patent for a system that recognized handwritten characters
by analyzing the handwriting motion was granted in 1915. The first
publicly demonstrated system using a tablet and handwriting text
recognition instead of a keyboard for working with a modern digital
computer dates to 1956.
