Yeah, it is hard to get one, the whereismypizero site helps. I do not see where you can get it cheap, but for most uses the bigger one is the better one anyway, especially when it did not had wifi and thus could only have lan/wifi or another device attached. Or an ugly fat hub... which makes it almost as big as a full featured pi. So i guess you need to pay $25 for a starter kit + shipping, but then you have a pi, which is small enough to be hidden inside much stuff you may control with it.

But if you WANT to, you can compile php to include these modules into the lib/exe so you don't have to load the shared libraries. Of course, you can do. And in a C program you can statically link the libsodium.a. So what?

technically the kernel is the operation system. GNU are just applications. You can run the operating system with booting just your own program using init=/myprogram. No need for GNU or any other userland tools.
you're confusing php modules with php extensions. Pear installs php scripts, not modules. The modules are stuff like libgd for graphics and so on, coming as shared library (.dll or.so).

Javascript isn't the best example, as it doesn't have any good standard library (which leads to the whole npm fuckup). Java can load binary modules, but much stuff is written in java and performs good enough. But the actual point is, that you link against a libsodium binding and php does it as well. They have build some lib, which then provides functions to the php interpreter. And they bundle it. That's it. You can just download libsodium and link it to your C program and get a similiar result without using a library for binding it to something, as it is written for C.
PHP is one of the programming languages, which load all stuff into the core (which can be quite a disadvantage), but other languages use a library by a single include. So what? And even php has it into a.so file, which can be loaded, but isn't required to be used. So the "core" is relative as well. Actually its a bundled module.

uBlock will, as it is already ported. NoScript isn't ported but possible (see uMatrix, which might be a better replacement anyway). Things like CTR, SessionSaver, Tabgroups, DTA might be a bigger problem. DTA not for the UI, but for the better network functions it's using.

you can't anymore, if you're not using a nightly. The release version blocks installation from files, which are not signed by AMO. They can be distributed on other sites, but they need to be signed on AMO.

Tracking protection already works, i.e. on uBlock. But for example deleting flash cookies (as files on your system) is probably not possible. Moving your tab bar into a sidebar won't work as well.
mozilla will stop distributing xul addons at some point. And as firefox doesn't let you install addons, which aren't signed on addons.mozilla.org... you're still out of luck with xul addons.

firefox will only run webextensions, which use the same api as chrome extensions. So they aren't more powerful.
