I was thinking the same but then browsers have caches and most of the CDNs (e.g. jsdeliver) set max-age to a year and immutable so you're only tracked once

For privacy reasons caches are per site these days. So even if you visit 1 page using a CDN and it is cached, if you visit a different website using the same CDN it will be downloaded again.

Ironically this degrades privacy as the CDN can track you everywhere..
