Thirty year ago, I remember getting serious eye for having a signature on my passport that did not totally match the one I produced for whomever I was stood in front of. My signature had morphed somewhat between the ages of 18 and 25. Now, we have thumb and retinal ID. Our script is less important, if at all now.
