I would argue that there are ethical implications.  It is
a User Agent.  It acts on my behalf.   I do not want it
to lie on my behalf, particularly when there is no need for
it to do so.  It could say "Firefox <whatever> compatible",
"Shares code with Firefox <whatever>", "Uses the same
rendering engine as Firefox <whatever>" or any of a million
other valid descriptions, all of which would allow Google
and similar sites to treat it as Firefox.  It does not
need to lie.
