There's a mis-understanding of at least the Graphics part. For example WebGPU features. It looks like lots of info

But, they are bucketed

It's not zero pieces of info but it's also not close to as bad as it looks. Effectively, everyone who has, say an NVidia GPU, will likely have the same list of features and limits.

As a more general example: The number is just a flat out wrong

> Unique to 1 in 2,147,483,648+ devices.

No, I have an iPhone Pro and am in the PST time zone, set to English. It has the exact same finger print as millions of other devices among the 40 million people in the PST time zone. In general, The only things different between 2 iPhones of the same model are time-zone, laguange setting, and font size.

Please STOP EXAGGERATING!
