The issue is from WebKit/explainers#32.

Browser privacy
This standard could actually mean that browsers know things about users that they didn't before, as an example, a username. Which may be reused across websites. As many browsers are built by commercial parties with interests in other sectors (cough....ad tech), I think it would at least be honest to mention or discuss the other side of the privacy coin.
