That’s part of the tracking protection. You still need to tell that you do have a GPU, for various reasons (hardware acceleration, etc.), so it provides a generic one, the same for everyone, so it cannot be used for tracking.

My vpn must be doing work, cause it was categorically wrong on EVERYTHING other than device type.
Unfortunately soon everybody will be like “no you aren’t, nobody can afford a real desktop computer anymore, I know you have a phone.”
