Why do squids have ink sacks and pens, but can not write?

^^ NOOO. Inside the mantle is the pen of the squid, a hard protrusion which is all that remains of the squid's shelled ancestors. The ink sack allows for a mixture of ink and mucus to be squirted through a funnel to distract the pursuer when the squid feels threatened.

It's for their own protection - a way of repelling predators it blocks enemy sight so the squids can run
