Everyone won't be Maskim
Everyone won’t be maskim Techeiles until Moshiach comes. That’s called finding.
Lost all kinds of Mesorah
There are a lot of Mesorah’s that are new, broken, or mistaken, including:
The exact text of the Torah. As of Aharon Ben Asher’s time (https://www.mywesternwall.net/2012/07/09/letters-in-the-torah-ben-asher-version-which-one-is-right.html), there were many varations of Chaser and Yeter, making the variances between all Sifrei Torah only 99.99% accurate (and not 100%). Even today, there are minor variances between the Sifrei Torah of Ashkenaz, Sefard, Yemenite and Chabad!
Shabbos. There was a time prior to WW2 where many different Jewish groups in different communities in Europe started and ended Shabbos. It was only after the war when the times became standardized.
Tefillin. In terms of Mesorah, Tzitzis and Tefillin were neglected, both in part due to the fact that they were outwardly-showing mitzvos (https://repository.yu.edu/items/4b199896-5390-4b20-9aa5-c413eb2e265f). Restoring Tefillin was met with intense pushback just like Techeiles today (https://www.jewishpress.com/judaism/torah/what-the-loss-of-tefillin-can-teach-us-about-techeiles-today/2025/06/19/).
Also of note are Esrogim, Tefillin, Turkey, and more.
Negative Mesorah
The version of the Radzyner Rebbe was that the Beis HaLevi wrote that it was from a negative mesorah, since the cuttlefish was so common and Jews chose not to use it. The same cannot apply to the murex trunculus, of whose dying died out hundreds of years ago.
