This is understandable. Even if the fontfile is included, different
Operating Systems have different font-layouting engines, so the
spacing will not match 100% - let alone the question of different
variants of a character and ligatures in modern fonts. So having the
text as a graphic object and not as text helps to avoid rendering
differences.

And for bitmap (as opposed to vector) formats, they just require a
high-enough-for-print dpi.

Probably, but not 100% sure.

Their equipment is so old, that they don't have support for that..
Probably they could handle png just fine, just that they have that
statement for several years, and why change? :-)
no problem converting png to tiff though, both support lossless compression.
