A utm tag isn't the only way to measure the effectiveness of marketing. It's just the laziest way.

And once the adtech companies notice that every tag except utm is being stripped, you can bet that utms will start being stuffed with tracking.

If link stripping becomes common, links will start becoming unique. This performance information is just too important to running a business.
