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.

If you have 50% of people having adblock then websites loosing 10% of traffic because of WEI probabilistically fail it still seems like win for big tech if they force user to their approved unmodified OS/browser.
