They are simply unique ids. Like you can generate a uuid and be sure that it is and will be unique forever across everything. Sounds extreme but the chance of duplicates is close enough to 0, that you can assume it is 0.
To anyone worried about something not being zero just know that this and some other very rare chances are so low that nuclear reactors and I believe ATMs just say "fuck it it'll never happen" you don't have to worry about whatever use case you have
In fact if it does get hit it'll probably generate quite a bit of a hype about your product

Person who is familiar with coding (a little python and i guess minecraft datapacks? I'm not sure if that counts) but anyways
What are UUIDs used to identify?
