Please don't spread obviously untrue conspiracy theories.
The main reason is that it's really hard to avoid fingerprinting (while providing rich features like WebGL and WebRTC anyway).
A secondary reason is that web browsers started off from a position of leaking fingerprint data all over the place so there's not much incentive to care about it for new features.
You might be interested in this effort to reduce fingerprinting: https://developer.chrome.com/en/docs/privacy-sandbox/privacy...
(The real conspiracy is that Google added logins to Chrome specifically so that they don't have to rely on fingerprinting. They have a huge incentive to stop fingerprinting because it leaves them as the only entity that can track users.)
