I mean come on, you’re filling out federal documents with all of your information, a serial number and description of the firearm.
It's possible, yes. But my understanding is that the only way the WV site gets the hardcopy 4473, which they can digitize, is when the FFL from whom you bought your heater goes out of business and has to send the hardcopies to WV.

So, if you bought your firearm from someplace that's still in business, ATF may peruse your 4473 at that FFL, but they would not have a chance to digitize it and put it into any sort of electronic data retrieval system.

SIA
I’m just saying that it could easily be used. Yes every ffl keeps their 4473’s. All it takes is the swipe of a congressional (and presidential) pen to have those documents sent straight to wv. It’s WAYYYY too easy for this to happen. Also remember, all information from the 4473 is relayed to the FBI. Be it over the phone, or electronically.
