It seems like the main benefit of such frontends is the lack of trackers and fingerprinting, but what if the browser, like Firefox, already did that with UBlock Origin and fingerprinting protection?

Ublock doesn’t stop (all/most) fingerprinting. A hosted frontend or instance can help protect against this vector of attack.
ublock doesn’t affect fingerprinting at all, that’s done in the browser.
Specific blocklists are designed to block fingerprinting scripts. This can help, but it is better when done by the browser.
