That's a simple thing to just not do and is a lame excuse.

If you're doing browser fingerprinting and get called out for it, you're the one full of malarkey. Building a web app does not require being shady, just as building a native app does not require one to do nefarious things. The devs* in either scenario choose to do it.

*Devs meaning whoever is behind it whether it is corpOverloards or shaddy devs, a dev somewhere obliged the overloards wishes.

That features like Webgl exist at all is a rage-inducing issue for some people.
