The bad guys will continue to innovate and find new vulnerabilities. Meanwhile, the bug hunters have all been laid off, to be replaced by this new system. Until someone realizes that, up until now, it has been finding bugs based on the training it has scraped from the far corners of the Internet. And since there is no training data on these new attack methods, it falls on its face.

Overall, it's laziness of design of those intraweb sites...

Maybe not laziness. Chrome -> Google -> Major PG&E customer.

Back when I worked for Boeing, we were a Macintosh shop. Then, Bill Gates started his annual dinners for the movers and shakers in the IT industry. The more Microsoft stuff your company had, the closer they seated you to Bill. Our CIO had to sit in the back of the room. He came back and announced that we'd be scrapping all the Macs and switching to Windows.

When it comes to corporations, you can never tell from which end the technology is driven.

so they have theirs set up to walk the entire DOM looking for any references to "chrome-extension://" and snagging the IDs if found.

Maybe walk the DOM for their own document. But what moron would build their core browser to allow sites to walk/query content from other, unrelated sites? That just sounds like content theft to me. Just the kind of scraping that LinkedIn claims to be detecting.

Domestic Cattle: ~1 billion (USDA) to 1.5 billion (FAO).

That's globally. US cattle number around 88 million. And that's the number which will be replaced by bison. Because bison are not native to other countries. They all have their own varieties of ungulates that will step in to a cattle vacuum. And even more important: Very few other countries are willing to "go vegetarian" and get rid of their cattle. Brazil (240 million cattle) and India (195 million) would just laugh. And India doesn't even eat them. Between Hinduism and lactose intolerance, they have no food value there.
