$insert_id property - Fraud?

We are seeing user profiles without a $insert_id property. Does anyone know why a profile wouldn't have one? Below compares two users from our install event.

Hi @j_white,

The property $insert_id was released to all of our client SDKs on Friday, 2/1/19. This is why your first event does not display the property.

The purpose of this property is to help match and de-duplicate events when both the $insert_id and time property are available— here is a full description from our developer docs for more detail.
