I think you might have missed where it says if your browser is blocking tracking ads and invisible trackers. At least for me I got the same "strong protection" message and unique fingerprint, but it did indicate that I'm blocking both of the aforementioned.

I quoted only parts of the page. My point is, when being unique while being strongly protected, am I really protected?

Well the question at that point is, protected from whom? Security is never a binary state, it can only be assessed relative to a given threat model. I'd say that being protected from all the sites that don't use fingerprinting scripts is certainly better than not. If fingerprinting is a concern to you though grab a factory default iPhone, should be pretty a pretty common fingerprint.
