I think this is the perfect storm. 1) Privacy-conscious browsers are trying to get exposure, so they are stretching an extremely narrow privacy risk into something extreme. 2) (I also believe) media companies are worried this will rob them of ad exposures, so they are incentivized to cover this as something scary. 3) The "bad guy" is Google.
