There may be genuine use cases to run a script, or whatever the attacker used. The problem is the browsers will auto-run stuff, the user isn’t aware and there’s no way to stop it.
All ublock (and others) do is provide the missing security layer called “don’t auto run shit from the web”.
If a tool is demonstrably indispensable to disable some browsers’ functionality, is it wise for browsers to have that functionality?
I’m guessing there’s just so much money (and power) in that kind of thing that it’s simply here to stay.

it won’t provide that, everything will still autoorun, but known bad things won’t get to run
I like it being extensible instead, as some adblocks might be opinionated or unresponsive. It’s easier to swap adblocks then browsers.
