They help with *rendering* issues that the older stuff misses out on.
For example, "P" on the old method may only print half the pixels of that letter, looking more like a "D". The new _UPRINT commands print more pixels on the screen, so that missing "|" in that "P" will end up showing below the "D"

^Basically the old "P" may have looked similar to the first half above, with pixels clipped or left off. The new _UPRINT uses more screen space, so it fully prints that character without the clipping and such. It's especially noticeable with Flourishes and such.
