i use an extension called OhMyECH to show whether a website used ECH, and it is currently very rare that i encounter one that does. at least none of the major websites on the internet do.

Can't you just drop the ECH signals, no matter what site it is? Don't you then mostly disable sites you don't want people to see anyway? Maybe like, you can't download Chrome anymore, but I bet there would be a Russian fork suuuuper fast.
