Doesn’t Segwit implement a wtxid that does take the witness data into account?

Yes but the signature only commits to the TXID. A signature can't sign itself so you couldn't sign the WTXid even if you wanted to. AFAICT the WTXId is only used to build the merkle tree for witness data.

If my understanding isn't wrong, the only reason this would work is because the ordinals data isn't actually needed to unlock the UTXO. It's just a bunch of meaningless fluff added after the signature has already been provided and checked
