How do we know that they would not be collecting even more info on us by making such a request?

This will just become another record in the database of course. But is it worth it to have a record of your signature to (possibly?) obtain (some of) the data they collected on you? That's what you have to decide.
If you've ever sent the signature to anyone by email then they've arguably got a copy already.
If you've ever paid taxes, gotten a state ID/drivers license, signed up for selective service (as a male), or any number of other routine, upstanding citizen activities, the government already has your signature.
I haven't, but you're right
