That's just the nice story DocuSign have to tell to deal with other people having their interests. It's not an actual fact of life.

It's not just a nice story. Law students learn about the importance of signatures on contracts during their first few weeks of law school.

Try getting a contract honored without a signature. You'll get laughed out of court. And unless they're you're best bud, you'll get laughed at by your counterparty for your naivete. Good luck proving the existence of an agreement with a piece of paper that the other party disputes.
