I can’t speak for Cupertino et al., but I would take that risk, even if it weren’t IP-based but instead UDID/serial-based. The amount of legitimate users it would affect would be trivial and can be taken care of by customer support. The benefit of that is that I can then, at that point, verify if we’re dealing with a legitimate device or not. Geniuses at Apple Stores can obviously do this physically, and remote support has the option to run remote diagnostics and even share screens.
