Most of it is because of the omniture and doubleclick filters.

The redundancy checker at
https://arestwo.org/famlam/redundantRuleChecker.html is old and has some flaws. But it still finds 97 redundancies in
EasyPrivacy List and 32 redundancies in
Easylist Noelemhide.
Is there a reason not to remove those redundancies?

I wish this was baked into uBlock Origin's subscription manager for Chromium and mozilla flavors.

the redundancy issues are mainly due to use of $generichide and $genericblock which will show dubes

Hi! Many probably know this tool. It's for checking lists if there are any rules that are not needed because they are dupes or are being covered by other rules.
This tool doesn't take into account the usage of generichide -switch. So it lists some rules redundant even if they are not.
Here are sample rules in the Main Easylist:
@@||bing.com^$generichide
###verticalads
bing.com###verticalads
If I put these Easylist rules to that tool, it says that bing.com###verticalads
is redundant because of general ###verticalads
rule. But bing.com
has generichide -switch applied that prevents general rules being applied to it. So bing.com###verticalads
is actually needed, it's not redundant as the tool says.

ABP have genericblock
, so for few sites maybe generate lack of privacy - unless how long domain=
modifier only mark filter as specific.
