Why would Apache include the Permission-Policy header when they previously chose to ignore the "Do Not Track" header?

The Do Not Track ended up being used for tracking and identifying users. Support for it is now removed even from Safari, https://webkit.org/tracking-prevention/

> Removed the Do Not Track flag, which ironically was used as a fingerprinting vector, adding uniqueness to the users who had enabled it.

Because users want to? I would like to think Apache httpd project listens to their users.
