One would need to keep in mind that there's always the possibility of someone simply walking over a corpse without identifying it in which case the rule makes perfect sense, however, as among us had thought me some people can be absolutely blind. We've had people walk over corpses before without noticing them or reporting them, that is, mind you when the game is built around the characters being in high contrast of the background (in most cases)
Why talk about Among Us in a TTT suggestion, well, quite simply put. If people can miss highly contrasting bodies which causes a giant button on the HUD to light up they can quite possibly easily miss an unidentified corpse that's stuffed in a corner somewhere (or anywhere else for that matter). And indeed, as you described it is difficult to prove in most cases (again there are exceptions) who has or has not seen the body and I could not think of any system that would be foolproof to check it either.
I do in the end agree the specific example of "unidentified corpses" may best be removed. It does appear like a huge flaw that relies on something that is almost impossible to prove. And let's be fair, to save and then upload a video within a round to prove your innocent really does not work (not to mention if you were to do it that way you'd just see the text "innocent" right there on the screen).
