What does ownership mean in this context? There’s nothing that the friend can do with those tokens. Transferring them to someone else doesn’t make any sense either.

So how is having a useless token balance recorded on Ethereum any different from having one recorded on a Google Sheet?

Zasssssssssssss! In his mouth. You Win.

And your opinion is my opinion. It's not a good idea because it is not free.

You could create anything worthless that would mean "the token", and that would be enough.

You could use PGP keys if you want it to be private and to run.
