I am not convinced. Gemini is useless, and the Web is tracked, because Gemini is a platform for distributing data/documents, and the Web has become a platform for distributing random executable code.

If Gemini documents could support static HTML and CSS (i.e. without anything like SCRIPT elements or cookies), it would be more useful to the people who it is intended to benefit - you could port Wikipedia or distribute journal articles - without being a tracker haven. I don't hate the modern web because I can read the results of a scientific study that mentions its statistics in tabular form. I hate the modern web because the first thing I have to do is sign away my right to be treated like a customer in business, a curious child in a library or a guest at a friends house, and instead must agree to involuntarily yield wealth for the company.
