Pretty fascinating! I would’ve expected the dongle to be doing something more complex but, as the author says, it’s possible that these developers underused it.

Many did. One common thing is to store some important data on a dongle. A game called DJ Max Trilogy stores your entire save data on it, so even if you bypass the dongle check to get the game to boot, you have to rewrite the entire save/load system too.
