Very cool; wondering if this could work as a parental control. "screen time" on iOS is fundamentally broken, and something like this would require the child to come to the parent for screen time extensions (if the parent has the NFC chip).

How is that different from the parent holding the code?

One scenario I can think of: When there's an occasion where you want to give them unlimited time, but you don't want to disclose the code and then later have to reset it to something new. Or you want to delegate permission to a babysitter.

You just give them the doohickey and ask for it back later. (Cloning the NFC tag is a much harder job that remembering a PIN.)

Not unlike using a TPM to prevent users from copying copyrighted content while still allowing controlled access.
