While this is certainly not forced by UNIX, (ie the man page for hostid just says it should be unique on a network) this philosophy of causing the hostid to be fixed by the boot rom was also adopted by NeXT when the went from rev 0.9 to 1.0 - specifically to allow an easy way for vendors to license their software.
