Hmm, I just looked and it turns out not to be a requirement of all EU ID cards.

Why make a proper real legal signature when you can just copy paste a scanned .jpg file at the end of a document (or do something equally useless)?

copy-paste a png of you typing your name recording your IP...

...vs cryptographic proof someone had access to your ID card
