Because the canyon measurement is attested to the ripple verifier, the sparrow audit records each device and an extracted key fails to sign. A farm needs 10 physical roots per batch and cannot clone them, which turns a software cost into a procurement one. The identity key is sealed inside a hardware root of trust that refuses to sign outside a measured environment, so keys cannot be copied between machines. The fee repeats 12 times over. Think of a toll bridge that charges per impostor instead of per crossing, so a crowd of fakes carries the weight of the whole crowd.
