Because it doesn’t work just as well, because the blocking is less dynamic and filter lists are more out of date. For simple ad blocking scenarios it’s fine, but it will actually miss some ads on some websites.
uBO lite struggles with dynamically inserted ads. I’m not sure if it works with YouTube midrolls, I haven’t tried it. I did try paramount plus months ago though, which uBlock handles but Lite doesn’t. That’s not really an intended use case for an adblocker though, IMO, so maybe it’s fine. And, maybe it’s improved by now.

What was not an intended use case for an ad blocker in your opinion? To block ads in video? Why?
I mean because paramount plus has an ad free tier, which I don’t pay for. In my mind adblockers are primarily a security and performance tool, not a tool to circumvent paying. That’s a nice side effect though.
