It’s also worth pointing out that non-repudiation requires stronger properties than cryptography alone can guarantee. If I surreptitiously leak my private key onto the internet I can later plausible deny that I signed messages. (The Signal protocol deliberately leaks old MAC keys for this reason).

If you really want non-repudiation then you have to have hardware, legal, and procedural controls in place.
