I’m wondering the opposite. Could a developer block the phone home call signifying a new install. I’m sure someone will try it.

  I'm sure it'll be against their ToS and they'll ban your account (which you now need to log in to at least once every three days to use the editor).

    The developer doing so would certainly result in bans and/or lawsuits, but it's not inconceivable that if it is something that relies on the installer being able to phone home that people start building it into ad-blockers or popularising some script to set the appropriate firewall rules. And if this does go through, there's bound to be thousands of people with the talent and influence to do so and a desire to spite Unity.
