"Anymore"? I've never met a single soul who knows this is even possible. I myself don't even know how to do it if I wanted to.

I do use NoScript, which does this on a site-by-site basis, but even that is considered extremely niche. I've never met another NoScripter in the wild.

Why not just use ublock medium mode?

Roughly similar to using Adblock Plus with many filter lists + NoScript with 1st-party scripts/frames automatically trusted. Unlike NoScript however, you can easily point-and-click to block/allow scripts on a per-site basis.

Am I in the wild? I use it.

They probably mean in the flesh.

I don't really talk about it in meat space, so they just might not have known.

I like the grid add-on for Firefox. It disables 3rd party pretty much anything by default. And you can control cookies separately from everything else, and I can't remember any time I've needed to enable those cookies to get a site working properly (whereas sometimes you need to enable scripting, media, or iframe for cdn or something).

The people who I've tried to get on NoScript seem to have the brain capacity of goldfish. If the site doesn't instantly work, it's as if the sky has fallen and there is no way to convince them to pay attention to which scripts are actually needed.

It's a rare breed that is willing to put up with toggling different scripts on and off. I'll also acknowledge that too many people (including me) are in a giant rush. For work-type stuff, I have the laptop without noscript, because sometimes I do need something to work absolutely right now.

You don't think you are being a tad judgemental?

People whose lives revolve around fashion probably think you dress like shit.

People who love food probably think you eat like shit.

People who love cars probably think you are a shit driver.

You probably love computers and care about privacy, and you are shitting on regular users(assumption, admittedly) for not being invested.

They had something that was working, you present noscript, thing no longer works. If you are not invested, how are you going to see the appeal of extra work?

Well, you know what they say. You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it interested in learning about the water cycle to have a deeper understanding of why the river flows in the first place.
