They could add switches for individual features to mask on a hidden/advanced menu

that's a great way to get even more fingerprinting potential, each additional switch is another bit of identification on top of the actual fingerprint itself.
Mozilla refuses to add _any_ toggle to disable RFP's control over features it touches, including even an about:config entry.

See example bugzilla: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1535189

My "fix" for this involves using a janky old version of an addon that attempts to muck with the CSS/JS to reproduce the effect.
