Which unfortunately nobody uses because non-cryptographic signatures (such as Docusign or this but hosted by an independent third-party) are considered good enough in practice.

Hell, nobody even has a smartcard reader, and as far as I know none of the eID cards have contactless capability that phones (who all have NFC readers nowadays) can use.

I wish smartcards took off and computers included readers as standard. This would not only solve strong authentication but also payments (just insert your bank card and do EMV-style payments with comparable levels of security).
