Why?

Current system works good enough. I has worked for thousand years and will work for a thousand more without the need to store it over internet in highly complicated form.

Proof of authenticity for a clothing or a purse is an extremely silly idea.

Also, blockchain only works when it is decentralized and evenly distributed over a very large amount of nodes supporting it. In the described case it can be either that every token producer has it's own blockchain, or that there is a large centralized system at work. And both of those simply do not have "non-fungibility" advantage that NFT's are supposed to have.

It actually hasn't worked for thousands of years. Imagine if all your assets were tied to the legitimacy of your government. What would you do if your government fell or wanted to take all your assets?

What would you do if your assets are NFT-protected but your government takes them anyway?

If they're landlocked yeah you're fucked. That's why Bitcoin is the greatest asset in human history. Fungibility matters. But the tech will be used for such things whether you like it or not. Even if not by the end user it'll be used by the institutions to save money on processing and such.

Bitcoin is already compromised - it is effectively controlled by a majority mining holder.
