I see it as a sign of modesty which many people on this planet could use.
What is a 'sign of modesty' when it is at home?
I am a respectable Christian woman. If I put on a scarf, am I any more respectable? If I take it off again, do I take off my respectability with it? Islam appears to think so.
The answer is no, I do not take off my respectability with my scarf, or my coat, or my gloves, or anything else. I am who I am, regardless of what I wear, because who I am is about me, not about my clothes.
Surely what is needed, therefore, is modesty itself, not outward signs pertaining to represent modesty.
I think you are forgetting that in Moslem countries even the prostitutes wear Islamic dress. Dress is cultural, it is not about morality.
