Reddit, Facebook, Amazon, Youtube and Googles search ads aren't affected by the built-in tracking protection at all.

That alone are half the pages most non-tech people (like my parents) usually browse.

I remember seeing a list of domains which Firefox tracking protection explicitly whitelists (presumably to avoid breaking these sites’ functionality). Google and Facebook were in there. That told me all I needed to know about this supposed tracking “protection”.
