These signatures have morphed into signaling one’s political leaning. It’s a good idea to keep such signals (whether intended or not) out of official communications.

For example, the Swastika was/is a religious symbol to billions of people. But became a political symbol and is a trigger point today

I think that's fair. It is akin to a business establishing email etiquette for it's employees.

Now, if it were the government telling citizens to not use pronouns in their emails, that of course would be overreaching.

As someone who works with a lot of international people with names I’m not familiar with, it can be really helpful to have pronouns. At a minimum. But also I like freedom. Call people what they want to be called.
