the one benefit i see is as a final “lock in your answer” function for any form you’re submitting.
And did they have to stop allowing written signatures because of AI scraping? Or is it just because they never looked legible at all?

Old school contract law was always about expressed mutual understanding, and predates widespread ability to read and write so didn’t require papers (but did like having witnesses of the agreement).
You still see surviving requirements of some contract signings needing witnesses.
It’s still the same in the digital age, if you can demonstrate all participants agreed then the form doesn’t matter much (aside from in regulated fields, some have their own requirements on form).
