This makes sense. With all that and browser fingerprinting and accounts and "other" mechanisms, do they even need cookies anymore?

First party storage won't be affected without some major AI tech in browsers so cookies are still the best deterministic connection, especially since most people are logged into a Google service already (gmail, chrome, android, youtube, etc).

Probabilistic techniques are used for anonymous users or environments like iOS Safari that are very strict.
