The quote is from RFC 5626 which also states:

"3.1. Summary of Mechanism

Each UA has a unique instance-id that stays the same for this UA even if the
UA reboots or is power cycled."

Since the UUID in the instance ID is also static how is this significantly
different in terms of privacy concerns from the IMEI being used as an
instance ID?

You're not demonstrating that an IMEI is just as good, you're
demonstrating that a UUID is just as bad.
