That makes sense. I'm not sure why anybody would generate UUIDs in browsers though, it seems to defeat the purpose.

Tell that to Segment. Hopefully they've fixed that, but they didn't seem to think it was a problem years ago (spoiler: it was a big problem).

When you do CQRS, you basically have to generate some form of unique identifier in the client. Why not a UUID in the browser?
