Sounds like an application for print farms.
I see it as useful for some rando with a printer as well. If you've got a printer to make little dinosaurs for your kid or the occasional curtain rod bracket, that little warning "this gcode file was sliced for ABS, but you've got PETG loaded. You sure?" or "There's only 177 grams left on this spool, this print will take 190." can be helpful.
I already get a warning for the first part - printer already known what I've loaded because I've told it. It knows what is currently loaded and can compare against gcode. Of course I could've made the mistake of telling it the wrong material when I loaded it, and that's on me.
