Sure. That black and white hundred dollar bill I printed surely won't pass scrutiny with the secret yellow dots.

I didn't say it made logical sense.

The (US) law was passed: "All colour printers must include identifying metadata on every print". So the printer manufactures went...sure, ok.

You can legally copy US currency in black and white because, like you suggested, it's obviously not real. So if that's the reason for the micro printing it wouldn't be applicable on a black only laser printer. The original post is also not relevant to your situation at all anyway...
