If you're capturing spoken word in a clear room with only one speaker, sure
But add in any detail that isn't the pure text (eg recording song snippets), a noisy environment (eg a cafe or any room with multiple conversations), or multiple speakers (eg for recording a meeting directly to know who said what word for word) and you're going to lose some information, accuracy or both
A voice note function is a pretty major feature not well emulated by anything else other than recording elsewhere and adding as an attachment which I agree is a little too cumbersome to be very user friendly...
