These aren't just annoyances, they are core features of the sites.

So? Any corporation would argue that about the annoyances on their properties.

I thought people used those list because it cleaned up the websites without breaking them. This is largely breaking the websites, only letting through a very opinionated subset of functionalities.

Even if it's nice for people who want just this, I don't think this has its place on the annoyances lists you mentioned.

No they wouldn't?

Annoyances are mainly for things like cookie popup or copy-protection etc. I doubt companies would argue these are their "core features".

Might be scope for upstream projects to add a new group like "uBlock Focus" where blocks are to focus main content?

Before IT took away all plugins (!) I used uBlock this way, hiding sidebars and leads that weren't conducive to work (eg interesting stuff).

the main timeline is a core feature of twitter for most people.

weird decision, I push plugins to lots of my customers (uBlock Origin)

why not both? the site pushes their features, the user filters their annoyance and we all normalize the wasted resources.

indeed, one could argue a reputable adblocker is paramount to endpoint/enduser security these days

They really like dealing with users and their malware infections I guess. It's the only possible explanation given that uBlock Origin is probably the most effective anti-malware software in existence.
