    In this case, the NFT would only be issued by the actual issuing company or its agent. This is how it works today but instead of NFTs it is paper certificates or, worse, a ledger entry why the issuing agent that is then confirmed with the centralized shared deposit uprise which actually owns most of the real shares. In most cases, especially in the trading platforms where you can execute free trades, you are just a beneficial owner and not an actual owner of the underlying security. With an NFT there would be no need for beneficial ownership at all anymore. It’s not the only way to do it, it’s just a utility like the others you mentioned, but it is a legitimate use case.
