Remote pairing with device's - AC,TV,other Electronics devices

Is it time for manufacturer's of electronics devices to allow pairing of remotes with the electronic device where the pair or pairing is established with MacId internally and with serial numbers externally to identify remotes easily with their mapped device in case same type, model,make is used in a premise.

The serial numbers are displayed in the display for ease of identification.  The paired device displays it's serial number - the host device serial number. For example the remotes could display the serial number of Remote and serial number of the device to which it is connected or paired. Also, the paired device names can be displayed in the remote as well in the device that is being interacted with the remote.
