I've always wondered about this, doesn't Microsoft know when people use this? Or is it just an anonymous number among legit ones and Microsoft can't tell a difference?

MS servers cannot tell the difference between where the HWID came from. If it’s there, MS treats it as legitimate. As if they issued it themselves.

They probably can but only after manual analysis.
