One of the proposals for WEI is to make it probabilistically fail.

Ie. on a given device, for 10% of websites, WEI pretends to be unsupported.

That means websites can't deny service where WEI is unsupported. Yet it still allows statistical analysis across bulk user accounts.

If WEI was implemented like this, I would support it as being good for the web ecosystem.

And what guarantees do you have that the probabilistic failure rate won't be turned to 0 at some point in the future?

Except for Google's pinky swear, I mean.
