This is only true if you have the most “paranoid” security level selected, and at that point anything that relies on Javascript (or any of the other features that get blocked) will break. Enabling Javascript or the other blocked Web features will make it fairly trivial to track you especially the more you browse, so at that point you might as well just be using a regular VPN.
Tor itself isn’t the problem in this equation, it’s the browser, and they tend to leak information like a sieve

Sure, it all depends on how paranoid you are, my point was more that saying someone is untrackable if they use Tor has a lot of caveats.
For the average pleb it’s probably fine, if all they’re doing is just trying to dodge regular trackers and not the authorities
