"Completely co-incidentally", it's in Google's best interest to be able to fingerprint everyone.

So, changing it to actually be privacy friendly while they have the lion's share of the market doesn't seem like it's going to happen without some major external intervention. :/

It's running on Chrome. Google doesn't need fingerprinting. By making it harder for others to fingerprint it actually cements Google position in the ad market.
