But now nobody knows you're using Dillo in the first place! What
incentive do website makers have to consider Dillo users if they're
all pretending to use other browsers?

I think it's shooting yourself in the foot. True, websites have
been machine gunning me down for years in spite of my honest Dillo
user-agent, but at least I'm not part of the problem.
