>If they go further the emulation layer will have to be moved higher, above the virtual machine running the browser for example.

Your hypothetical change of emulation tactics won't work. You're analyzing at the wrong abstraction level.

The "attestation tokens" to validate the integrity of the web browser environment would come from a 3rd-party (e.g. Google Play services).

For example... Today, hacks like youtube-dl work because implementing client-side code to "solve javascript puzzle challenges" is still inside the "world" that Google-server-to-browser-client present to each other. Same for client-side solvers for Cloudflare captchas. The "3rd-party attestation token" breaks those types of hacks.
