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...
