Wouldnt it be enough to verify through IMEI to make sure the OS isnt emulated?
IMEI is PII
Is it tied to my real identity?
If not it seems to me that it should be sufficient as to serve as a security this phone is legit and not emulated/compromised.
Yes it's tied to your identity. That's what PII is. It's also not tied at all to your OS.
