Some professional coauthors will probably die but will continue to have their names placed on new publications
several years posthumously. The submitting author may forget that they are long dead, buried
among dozens of automatically listed co-authors.
That seems to be a falsibiable prediction. It might also be a good tool to shame wrong-doers.

In theory yes but in practice it’s hard to untangle from papers where someone was a proper, real coauthor or contributor but died before publication.
