Or what do you use them for? Isn't it now quite easy for websites to track outside of just cookies?

because they would always ask which container I wanted a tab in.

I don't remember having to deal with this but it does not do that now. you can set a container to always be used for a website, and then it'll ask you what to do if you try to open it outside of that container, but that's it.
