Safari isn’t blocking uBlock so much as they changed their extension API and uBlock can’t/won’t rewrite to support it.

This is really no different than what Firefox did with WebExtensions but had the advantage of being mostly compatible with the Chromium ecosystem. It’s true that content blocking isn’t as powerful as what uBlock does/did with WebExt but WebExt also isn’t as powerful as XUL extensions.
