Yes, if a state actor wants to create evidence to frame you, and they didn't care about cost or returns, they could do so. But they could always do so. The fact is most of us are never going to get framed by a nation state.
The notion that you're either secure against all possible attacks or nothing is absurd.

This is a major problem for elections. Nation states absolutely will doctor video of adversarial political candidates and for other propaganda purposes.

But that's how signatures work. You're trusting every device in the world to sign the output of its camera. If the attacker can compromise any device, they can produce signed forgeries.
Again, nation states have always been able to doctor video of adversarial political candidates. Lookup pictures where the KGB made someone disappear.
Yes, if an attacker can compromise any device they can produce a signed forgery. But that's a really big if. There are a lot of potential attackers who can't compromise any and all devices, and signatures protect against them.
