Re: [mediacapture-main] Stop recommending UUID for deviceId/groupId (#682)

I think this is historical. We probably all agree this is not a great model in general and we do not want new APIs to adopt this model.

The current approach is passive fingerprinting neutral, without any additional mitigation.
The additional mitigations we are talking about make it fully fingerprinting neutral. These mitigations are also much more urgently needed by other web technologies, the cost of applying them to device IDs is very low.

I personally feel like we fixed this particular issue and would prefer focusing on other existing privacy issues, like device/track labels.
