I'm not quite as concerned. Images don't report back by themselves like a link that has the sharing info appended to it does, so the platform (or a crawler reading that platform) would need to actively read those watermarks. Also when someone copies and shares the image again, the watermark stays the same and now they don't know if the image was shared from the original source or the first sharer, unless that platform rewrote the watermark to remain unique. So a waterproof chain of attributions would need all the platforms involved cooperating with each other.
