The first and only time I've ever had to swipe and sign was on an AirAsia flight a few years ago.

I had never actually bothered to sign my car, which was apparently a problem for the flight attendants, even though my passport (with a matching signature) had the same name, and obviously did my ticket. But by whatever logic, they were happy with me signing the card there and then.

It amazes me that swipe and sign was ever considered vaguely secure. Most teenagers learn how to forge their parents signature during their high school years.
