I'm not sure any of that refutes the scenario I laid out. Google denying adsense payments is exactly what I said would happen. It would then be up to the site as to whether or not they would continue to allow traffic from users who they aren't getting ad revenue from. I've been at companies who have had this exact debate about how to handle users with ad blockers.

I completely agree about the spec's vagueness about what makes a client trusted, and that attesters can choose arbitrary criteria, and will likely favor things that make the walls on their gardens higher.

I hope you're not misunderstanding my position, I think WEI is bad for users and I'm hoping that alternative browser vendors like Vivaldi take a stand to not implement it.

You're not wrong about any of this, but I have very little faith that alternative browsers not implementing this will have any sway in avoiding the lockout outcome :-(
