You missed the part where they recommend changing the script's name as well, add in changing a few variable/function names in the script and even matching the hash of the script itself would be useless. On top of them recommending using a sub domain with an A/AAAA record so its first party.

Worst-case you parse the script and block it if the AST is too similar.
There are a million ways to detect and block this sort of thing when you control the client. Yes, it's harder than just blackholing a whole domain, but it's hardly impossible.
