It's a Japanese culture thing.
Not just Japan. Where I live we do it too.

Because it's faster, less annoying, less errors in loud environments and is more secure against eavesdropping. Also, the person can correctly write his/her name.
It's also a small gesture of trust since you're trusting the other person not to snoop in your phone even if it's only for a bit.

Thanks for heads up, guys.
Such method never crossed my mind and is not practiced at my place. Dunno, less hygienic, less private and some not-very-fluent users may not be able to succeed due to different software or lol can even drop the phone.
