I want the whole fingerprinting industry to just go away.

Be careful what you wish for. As hardware attestation continues to spread, companies won't need fingerprints to identify you. Though if you want, hardware attestation can be thought of as an unique and unforgeable fingerprint. Poisoning the well won't work for it.

Just to clarify, hardware attestation is not bad in itself. It can be used by the user to secure their device (aka secure boot). It's when third-parties try to use it, where it becomes a threat to privacy. Like a website asking for your hardware-attested device id.

Of course we don't want to give our id to these third parties. But we need to convince everybody else to do the same. Because if everybody else gives up their id, then websites won't care about the few "privacy extremists". And those people will simply be locked out of the web.

But anyways, back to fingerprinting. I feel like the best way to get a sense of the scale of the issue, is to simply dive into the developer discussions around it. Look into mailing lists and feature discussions for Tor browser, Mullvad browser, and Brave. I guarantee you there are discussions around trying to make the browser look identical to the average user, and the challenges of doing so.
