So the actual motivation for Origin is because Referer is dropped in
some networks, while the still unknown Origin header is not dropped in
the same networks?

And why is this? Imho simply because the network admins who worry about
Referer do not yet know about Origin. Once they learn about Origin they
will start filtering that header in the same manner as they do with
Referer, putting you back on square one, implementing Origin2?
