These are infamous in gaming. Early PS5 devkits had a unique pattern on their casing. So the first time a photo of one was leaked, Sony knew who had done it. Video games have specific markers on maps to show who's footage it is. Software sometimes have dots in the bar at the top to reflect a unique user in a webstream.
It's basically stenography at the end of the day.
