I don't have a phone from this brand. What system in place enforces this policy?

I have their phone and you need to use their windows app to unlock it.

Thanks.

What prevents someone from creating an additional account on a different computer to unlock two phones in a year?

I can't find it on my PC anymore, but it's ringing to me that you needed to login with your Mi account.
edit: plus wait 72h(?)

Was a week when I did it some years ago.
The account is tied to your sim, you effectively confirm it by them forcing you to do the process over mobile data.
