True the “Enoch” that is available today is non canonical and not to be treated as scripture, but the section Jude quotes is certainly scripture.

I'd say that's carefully phrased.

Enoch is quoted in a canonical book. That doesn't make Enoch itself canonical, any more than the pagan poets Paul quoted are, or the external sources referenced sometimes in OT historical books were.

The use I'm seeing people make of it now is nutty.

I did not say in any way that Enoch was canonical, I said that the portion Jude quotes is scripture. I don’t believe it is good for Christians to be reading Enoch, Jasher, etc.
