EMV chip cards support RSA digital signatures. Granted earlier EMV cards
used ridiculously small key lengths (i.e. 320-bits), but they have been
gradually ratcheted up to e.g. 768 or 1024-bits.

These cards number in the billions (10s of billions?) and the chips are
priced in the penny range.

I don't think it's impractical to ship hardware accelerated asymmetric
crypto primitives on chips that meet the specifications you're describing.
The payments industry has definitely shown it's possible.
