Sure, this is a fair use case. But then can't the browser tell the end user that someone wants to read this browser data so the user has a chance to say "no"?

Changing user-agent is virtually always possible, though a vanishingly small fraction of users will do so.

Bundling into adblockers or browsers directly would help.
