You're also assuming that the person writing by hand had a disposable pen and pre-lined, bound paper.

Imagine you had to make ink, get a quill, and make paper. Imagine how much paper costs when you have to make it from rags. Turning a tree into a porridge takes a lot of industrial equipment, then bleaching it takes chemicals.
