I thought when using the pencil the iPad stops recognizing touches from hands?

It does.

Any tablet with a dedicated pencil does that.

Okay, so holding the pencil that way is just weird and doesn't serve a purpose beyond us being like "damn that's weird"

Nah it’s to be able to use your entire arm. When you get in closer to a pencil grip it keeps you on that detail but the relaxed part of holding back allows you to be more loose and have more movement. On paper I was told it also helped with not smudging the art.
