These sorts of signatures are usually used on mobile devices for a number of reasons:
- Typing on a mobile tends to be less comfortable, or at least slower, than typing on a full-size keyboard. This lends to shorter, less detailed replies. The signature acts as a warning that "I'm not being brusque, I just don't have the capacity to state my case more loquaciously."
- Many mobile clients seem to restrict what you can put in a signature. You generally can't use formatting (as company branding might require), you often can't even use multiple lines. And if you want to read your signature from a pipe (so as to include a witty "fortune")? Good luck!
