I agree in general. However, it also relates to the notion, expressed by 
the COGA Task Force, of giving users interfaces with which they are 
"familiar". The difficulty, however, is that Web application developers 
don't know what is "familiar" to each user in the absence of 
configuration settings and multiple options. Detecting user agent and 
operating system raises privacy concerns, and can lead to incorrect 
inferences (e.g., the assumption that the user's current device is their 
most familiar device) - true in many cases, but not all.
