The question is what the bezier-curves tool is good for in practice - maybe for
some animations, but that's out of the scope of this application ...

Because a handwritten authentic signature!

Because you want what you drew to be drawn and not something else!

Is it so damn hard to make this tool scalable or to add another trivial tool
that would just blindly draw and not modify the curves in any way?

This crap has been going on for 5 years? Probably because someone thinks this
way a bit out of the box..

A freeform line is not a custom-shape but a Beziér-curve. We have no META bug
for Beziér-curves or for polygons, so only the general "Shapes" META bug can be
used here.

A custom-shape is not a 'shape drawn by the user', but a shape which is written
as  in the file markup. See links in bug 123648.


The smoothing is generated, when you are too far away from the down direction
when moving up.


For me the question is, why do you want to draw a 'm' instead of using a text
'm'.

This is Reproducible, but may be more up to interpretation.

The freeform line tool does not work as you would see in something like
Microsoft Windows Paint which literally tracks and stores your exact cursor
position to the pixel.  Unlike Paint, you can edit the freeform line in Draw
after it has been created, which is the tradeoff. 

The help description of the freeform line tool states:

Draws a freeform line where you drag in the current document. To end the line,
release the mouse button. To draw a closed shape, release the mouse button near
the starting point of the line.

It does not indicate as to whether there is a limitation to the degree of
"freedom" the tool allow for.  

The overall Draw features file states:

Vector Graphics

LibreOffice Draw creates vector graphics using lines and curves defined by
mathematical vectors. Vectors describe lines, ellipses, and polygons according
to their geometry.

In other words, not pixel-by-pixel, but using start, end, and curvature
coordinates, which makes the object scalable, mutable, and distinguishable from
overlapping objects.

If you select the freeform line, then select the Move Points option from the
toolbar, you can see that the object is made up of points and curves, and is
not actually freeform down to the pixel.  You could adjust the freeform line to
your exact needs after the fact, but for a signature application, this would
not make sense.  

You could potentially increase the sensitivity of the cursor tracking to the
pixel by changing the drawing ratio and increasing the zoom factor of the
drawing, but the tradeoff will be more storage and processing.  

I would categorize the need to have a separate tool to draw a truly free form
line and store it as an image rather than a vector drawing as an enhancement
request.

Drawing a cursive m, sometimes results in large loop where line doubles back on
itself
