Because the signature of "John Hancock" was/is the most prominent on the Delaration of Independence and Articles of Confederation. Being that its the most prominent it is the one that stood out and everyone remembers, so when someone refers to John Hancock his signature is usually the first thing that comes to mind and therefore one is being asked to sign their name.
