I think you might be overestimating the impact of this (whatever 'this' is) on the rest of the world that isn't trying to make signatures a business. This is the first I'm hearing that Google has introduced a (new?) signature feature, and the Google trends for "Electronic signature" haven't moved much if at all [0]. A Google search for "Google signatures" still mostly turns up information about email signatures, including when I filter to the News tab.

I'm honestly not even 100% sure what new feature you're talking about. In my searching I don't turn up any announcements about Google and signatures, and I do find a help article about it going back to 2022 [1].

In short, I have no idea what sparked this for you, but for the rest of us it's Tuesday. It might be good to slow down and figure out what's actually going on and what its real impact is?
