It seems all smartphones have this feature.  My Blackjack2 says "from my windows mobile device".  I turned of my signture feature.

I suspect Apple put it in by default as cheap advertising pure and simple.  I left it in to call attention to the phone accessibility.  As you say, people put guide dog names in signatures and few complain.
