Fingerprinting, without excessive investment doesn't work well for mobile which eats and ever-increasing share of online traffic.

I don't think Service Model is really hopeful. The society has collapsed and robots are stuck on useless errands.

Ultimately the management should care about what brings in the most revenue. A feature that brings low revenue but has no fire is something no-one cares about. If you have a ton of revenue and no bugs, you likely can get recognition.
