Why?
It was added to get usage statistics from some Wikimedia site that shut
down 5+ years ago, so we haven't used it in a real long time. There's
some value to website operators who find it interesting, I suppose, but
that doesn't outweigh the disadvantages:
For Chrome, it has to go because of the version 100 Cloudflare trouble.
For WebKit, it's nice to remove it because of persistent troubles with
specific websites that require debranding quirks.
For Firefox, I don't know any specific problems, but I wouldn't be
surprised if it encounters version 100 trouble too.
For all of the above, it's another data point for fingerprinting users.
Admittedly it is not a very big one, but it's better to not have it
than to have it.
