They began when Digital signatures were not understood well even by legal professionals. Somewhere fear might have came in picture. Today, its easier to digest the fact that digital signatures are just cryptographic functions that guarantee the authenticity and integrity of documents and various actions on those docs. Plus the legal framework around it is better defined now. I am confident that we will be able to change the perception and make this the de-facto digital signing solution. The movement has just began, there is a long way ahead.

This answer is incredibly technocratic, and misses the mark on what a digital signature is.
A digital signature is a legal construct that stands up in court.
The movement might have begun, but you need to change your perception. You have to stop talking like a technocrat and address the business problem that signatures solve.

I agree. This is the result of being surrounded by developers all day long lol. Will try to focus more on the business problem.
