What is there to discourage desperate or ill-informed (or both) people from selling their World ID credentials to bad actors?

Got an answer to this question here: https://twitter.com/sproule_/status/1661836717970563088

> One reason is that they can’t credible commit to the fact that they won’t also sell it to someone else (can’t prove that you deleted ur local key) or nullify the world ID by re-scanning.

There are only 8 billion people on earth, so even if every single account were fake that's still a huge improvement over the status quo where someone can spin up 8 billion fake accounts in an hour.
