What do you mean by device detection? You mean web browser detection? Because lots of WebUIs do user-agent detection to work around browser specific bugs, the most classic being serving up different implementations for IE8/10/etc
I used to work on GWT and we baked user agent detection into the very framework and compiler itself so that each application is compiled into multiple optimized permutations.
This has nothing to do with ads or fingerprinting, it’s purely about writing code that works on legacy vs newer browsers.
