A capacitance touch screen is not necessarily better than a resistance touch screen, they're two different technologies with different advantages/disadvantages ...
From what I remember from when I did this research a couple of years ago, a capacitance touch screen's advantage is that it can do multi-touch while a resistance touchscreen is more accurate and can easily be made pressure sensitive. With phones and tablets it makes sense why they picked a capacitance touch screen because you need gestures due to the lack of other inputs on the device. I could be wrong but I suspect Nintendo favoured pressure sensitivity to make drawing/writing more natural over the expressiveness of multi-touch because they already had 2 analogue sticks, a d-pad, 4 face buttons, 2 shoulder buttons, a microphone, a camera, and a motion sensor so the controller isn't really lacking in expressiveness.
