Wow! That's amazing. I wonder if the brand is a factor.
I've bought so many marking tools that are useless or virtually useless that I've lost count, so I'm frustrated and really leery about buying anything new. When I couldn't get my pens to write the other day, I used white artist chalk on a black quilt block. I'll be interested to see how well that comes off when I get the quilting done. I have loads of both white and blue artist chalk. If it comes off o.k., I can use it whenever I use templates; I suspect it is too fat for freehand drawing. I also have tiny chalk sticks and a special holder for them, but they are too flimsy and break at the least little pressure put on them, so that's one of the virtually useless items in my collection.
