As usual, a thousand word essay on Google's WEI without ever mentioning that Apple sailed that ship silently a while ago, therefore not attracting any attention or backlash.

The sorry state of tech news / blogs. Regurgitating the same drama without ever looking at the greater picture.

I didn't notice it because I, just like a majority of internet users worldwide, do not own any Apple products and therefore I was never affected and probably never will be.

I do, however, routinely interact with websites that implement Google Analytics and/or Google ads. If those sites start rejecting my browser of choice I will most certainly be locked out of a significant portion of the internet. And the remaining 60% of all internet users would be essentially forced to accept this technology or else. That's an order of magnitude or two more users, and seems to me like a good reason to raise the alarm.
