unless its unrelated to the nozzle it'll be easily circumvent by replacing said nozzles.
Yeah, this is absurd. Also if someone makes a "ghost gun" they can easily destroy the printer before using that thing.
yes and no. I think the idea here long term is similar to the printer dots on normal printers. where they track/record those from factory to the point of sale. if the nozzles leave identifying marks (something I'd totally believe) then even destroying said printer might not help you if you used a credit card to purchase it.
Unless there is something inserted into the gcode, nozzles are a wear item. You would not be able to put a consistently identifiable mark on the nozzle
