Why would it randomly remove the "fill" in bolded text and not in all text? Unless this was done manually and that makes less sense.
This makes me think more that the pre-printed ones were just sloppy and off.
If the fill was a different shade or color, it could be missing in print or scan, but these are solid colors (even the red bold letters don't have a stroke so it would make more sense that they would just uniformly disappear.
It's arbitrary. If it was a vector, maybe, but that would only be true as long as maintained as a vector, meaning never printed or scanned.
If the scanning or processing software set a threshold for removing all shapes and applying a stroke of a certain size, that could make sense but I would expect to see more fill removed elsewhere and this would concern me that the scans were being automatically tampered with and I would not trust the process without a good explanation.

I assume theres a threshold for what is considered filled shape, and what is considered line

Looks like everything wider than 2x the stroke to me? The triangles, the "sign within the box" text, the border around the signature box...
