Would it? My understanding is that most fingerprinting is done by a few large companies, in their own proprietary libraries that are shipped with third-party apps. If you block this method, they will quickly find another one and ship it everywhere, because that is their core business.
With browser fingerprinting, the ad companies are already regularly pulling many shenanigans; I don't see a reason why this would be different.
