I don't understand your point. I'm certainly not solely focused on the unsophisticated ones, but those sorts are important too. And they're much more common as they include ad and other trackers.

You want a warm blanket that you blocked some well known ad click tracker while having no real visibility overall. Security theater.

You would be correct if that were my attitude, but it's not. This is not a panacea, it's one component in a larger security posture.
