Surprised no one has mentioned …The main practical one is line thickness. You can’t physically write as small. You can pack a ton of information with a 0.3mm or 0.25 ball point that is not possible with the bic where nearly triple that is considered “fine” by comparison.

Those pens have considerable resistance but I find pilot hi-tec-c 0.4mm write as smoothly as a Bic but a far cleaner line and is a good compromise for everyday use. It’s not like most of these pens are particularly expensive or anything either.
