It would be used to tag every electronic product bought by or for that person, that person would use their biometric to open the product, and no one else's biometric would work. That would keep sharing of digital products to an acceptable minimum.
If this world ever adopts an effective biometric ID system, I imagine then it will be ready to attach said UCLIDs to digital products.
