Wow, Lots to unpack here…
many of the cool things are really baked into the iOS now.
Yes, Apple has baked a lot of their watered down, does not compare to real JB tweaks stuff into iOS.
Or can you really say that stock Quick Reply beats BiteSMS? Stock call/SMS blocking beats iBlacklist? Nightshift beats f.lux?
The ONLY one I will give you is Apple's version of Dark Mode. But it took them 13 versions of iOS to get to. I had dark mode on iOS 6.
My outlook changed when jailbreak lost Cydia support
unc0ver 5 supports Cydia. It's on my homescreen.
and none of the old school tweaks are even supported or downloadable anymore.
This goes back to your first comment about things being baked in. When you settle and accept what Apple is willing to give you instead of what a JB tweak offers, then there is less support for the better JB tweaks and the devs go away. It's a vicious cycle, but only Apple wins because they don't have to give us what the JB tweaks actually did.
And people are actually happy with that.
Plus, it’s just too much work nowadays to know who I should trust.
Huh? Default repos.
That, and Apple Pay, banking apps would not work right.
Really? I have a jailbroken 6s+ on 9.0.2 and Apple Pay works just fine. Maybe you have some other issue?
I guess I’m getting too old and responsible to be bothered lol
So what I'm hearing you say is that jailbreaking is only for the young and the irresponsible? Is that right?
Well, I have two teenage kids, a wife, a mortgage, and a full time job. I'm still into jailbreaking and using tech. I find the time for it because it's a priority of mine, it's what I'm interested in.
I'm old and responsible and I will continue to bother with jailbreaking.
Everything you've said boils down to one thing. You just aren't interested any more. And that's fine, it's the correct choice for you. I'm just objecting to the implication that jailbreaking isn't something responsible adults would be engaged in.

I did jailbreak but soon found out my banking app would no longer work . Straight away removed jailbreak thinking could be a security issue . Have since upgraded to iOS 13.5.1 to make sure my phone is secure again .
Are you in the habit of visiting sketchy websites? Are you also in the habit of handing an unlocked device over to a stranger and letting them disappear with it for hours on end?
If not, I don't see your point about security.
