There's also a distraction issue: you can write while the professor writes, and they can't really talk coherently while they're writing. With a presentation, they can start talking while you're still taking notes.
Additionally, having to write out content in longhand slows down the amount of info you can cram into a lecture.

I'm not sure if you meant that as a positive or a negative, but that was the biggest advantage for me when I had chalk board classes. If you can't write down everything you want to say, your students can't either.
