Is there any reason induction heating couldn't be used in future versions of filament extruders?

The only way I could see it make sense is for minimally faster response since the nozzle itself would be heated and there'd be less of a thermal barrier between the resistor and nozzle (now, there's be no barrier.). But, that's not possible, because you want the nozzle to be a hunk of aluminum or brass or copper, and I was under the impression you want a iron-based material for easy inductive heating. Otherwise, it's a bit trickier.
