Why?
netsharc•8m ago
My guess would be they're using some 3rd party library of "fake user agent detection", and this library just has a whitelist of what's "acceptable".
ajb•4m ago
This is just a guess, but maybe "inconsistent" identifiers are a good signal of being an attack bot instead of a user.

Not defending that btw. Auto-generated signals are likely a problem for any desktop Linux user, not just Asahi, since most bots will run on Linux VPSs.

PayPal is the only semi reliable payment method attached to my credit card that doesn't constantly fail payments on my desktop computer.

Glad to hear that's going to change as well.
