The catalog is definitely out dated, but I'd say many of the snooping devices are still deployed especially in foreign shitholes. I would also bet that most applicable devices and software in this list have been updated or superceded to account for technological advancements. Just to say that smartphones and Alexa have replaced these techniques is a gross oversimplification. Those have made it easy to mass surveil the populace, but those that understand in the slightest will not fall prey to such broad, unfocused attention. Thus the need for updated techniques at home focused on persons of interest as well as abroad with persons, corporations, agencies and governments.
