They have increasingly revised or clamped down on the various unique IDs and are pushing everyone to the (user-resetable) advertising ID. Things like the MAC have already been hardcoded to a single fixed value for a couple of years now.

You're just spreading unsupported fud. Actions speak louder than words and Google's actions for Android apps and APIs do not agree with your comments.

It's very kind of Google to, say, make the recent change re. Build.SERIAL/Build.getSerial() so that it requires a permission now. That's a step in the right direction, but we're still very far from being untrackable.
