Wow. This represents a profound misunderstanding of the advertising industry.
Data is their edge. It's how they compete with each other.
The privacy "arms race" isn't just between the browser vendors and the trackers, it's also between tracker a and tracker b.
Giving them a new data point (no matter how """privacy preserving""" it is) is just that, another data point. It's not going to make them give up on the others.
