As others said it’s more of a legal step than actual security. In the European country I live in, I have a verified digital ID, and I can use it to sign documents, verify credit card transactions and login to fill in forms for government services, effectively signing them too. It’s nice but in practice the digital. Any small company or individual will use a signed document instead. It’s just easier and doesn’t cost money to implement. Plus anything that actually verifies your identity probably means each signature/transaction is in a system owned by a government and operated by a vendor. It’s not trivial to convince all citizens in a country to start using something like that.
