MIDI is a very poor substitute for sheet music, and vice versa. Think of MIDI as a performance and sheet music as the text being performed.
If you want to analyze the music or perform it, you want the sheet music. If you want a computer to perform the music, you want the MIDI.

You may have composed something you need to provide to classic musicians to perform

Think of it as the difference between a computer algebra system and LaTeX. Sure, they're rudimentarily both about mathematics. But the former is about building software that can do interesting computations with algebraic expressions. The latter is about building graphical representations expressly for humans.
That's the difference between sheet music and MIDI. MIDI is extremely powerful, but it's not really about setting not just instructions but guidelines for human performers who will ultimately use their judgment on how to interpret it and perform it -- often in large groups. Compared to that, MIDI is not just way more low level, but simply for a difference purpose.

What information isn't captured in the MIDI but is captured in the electronic sheet music?

Sheet music is human readable, MIDI is for computers.

There's a lot of "annotations"[0] in sheet music which allow the performer to use their judgement for playing.
Sure you can extract these patterns from MIDI based on things like velocity curves, but by default raw MIDI won't tell you that.
