One of the issues in its favor imo is it is the best in terms of obfuscating fingerprints. I can't comment on the other aspects like how it supports itself via private measurement but I would argue its the least bad option if not moderately recommendable. I would still use your own VPN to obscure your IP and anything that needs to be anonymous with other options but as a daily driver, you could do a lot worse.
Changing your browser fingerprint without also masking your IP with a VPN is kinda pointless. It's like wearing a disguise but leaving your driver's license at the scene of the crime.
Your IP changes all the time unless you have a static IP in a fixed location
Most residential connections in my experience don't change ips unless you disconnect the modem/router for long enough to lose the DHCP lease from the ISP. I guarantee most people are not going to bother doing that.
It really is just the flip of a coin. ipv4 addresses are running out so the ISPs have to play hot potato with the remaining ones
