>Note: none of this prevents tracking unless you also have fingerprinting turned off

It does prevent tracking of websites that don't do fingerprinting. The best is the enemy of the good!

Yeah except in this case Google is the enemy of even the moderately useful. Find any website you like. Odds are it uses google analytics and/or google ads, and good news: that website absolutely uses fingerprinting, even if they didn't implement it "themselves".
