I feel like this is plausible. Apple /could/ record any non-zero results from this daemon in some regular diagnostics package and upload it to their database of hardware UUIDs + associated Apple ID. But at the same time, why bother? If the user brings in a laptop for service they'll find out about any liquid damage then, surely it's recorded in some unclearable diagnostic area of memory. Not beaming this data on demand seems in line with Apple's privacy etiquette, but we may never know for sure.
