Well yeah, they're just blocking known fingerprinting services. If you use a tool that they don't recognize, it'll still work, but their approach will still block the big companies that can do the most harm with that data.
The only alternative is probably to disable WebGL entirely, which isn't a reasonable thing to do by default.
I wish Firefox had a per-site or per-domain preference for WebGL (as well as for wasm, etc), the same way we have per-site cookies or notifs preferences. It'd help clear most issues regarding this.
