For the first, I'm not sure requiring HW is a non-starter. It would have to be cheap---say $20 or less---to start with.

Yes, it is a non-starter. There is no computer (or parts) manufacturer that is going to start including specialized hardware, even if it only cost $0.01us, for a system that doesn't exist yet, and that hasn't been adopted.

Especially when a lot of people, including some of us who have spent years dealing with logging retention, access, security, processing, alerting, etc, look at this and think it's a bad idea.
