To be fair, most of the reasons for trackers is to fight ad fraud. Most of traffic on ads are just bots.

So liars are in a constant fight with fraudsters. It doesn't justify having regular people's privacy be collateral damage.

The vast majority of tracking is about behavioral ad targeting.

That isn't a good justification for trackers. I should not have to be subjected to spying in order to help an industry deal with their own problem.
