It's as much under control of the client as many of the visible tracking capabilities (cookies, JS, etc..), but highlighting what that means is worthwhile. I'm lukewarm on the value of the SETTINGS/PING thing. TCP window scaling relies on knowing RTT, so another way of measuring it in a less accurate way is of little intrinsic value. It's certainly harmless text inasmuch as it is correct, but it is only new if you consider the layer in isolation and don't assume anything like (say) lock-step request-response-request. See https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7323#section-3 for lower layers, and JavaScript in general for higher. I guess if you consider this as another hole to plug for the TOR folks, then yes, but they have very special needs (and the skills to match, no doubt).
