The biggest reason for me is to block ads on social media apps. Many of them have no way of blocking the ads (either through pi-hole or a subscription for example).

The other reason is to hide obnoxious features I'd never use that serve as screen clutter (such as stories in messenger)

I'll check it out, thanks. So you know, I have used system wide ad blocking to great success before, but years later and I had forgotten what I had installed. So, I know they exist.
