I would say that pretty much no one cares about the deprecation of Manifest v2 outside our little tech circle. Heck, not even the tech circle cares too much about this given how many use Chrome anyway. I hate to be saying this, but I’m afraid the author is right.
Many of the Chromium forks have small teams, sigificantly smaller and with little actual in-engine experience compared to Firefox for example.
These teams need to have sufficient resources to maintain a reasonably significant fork of a standard, which will likely get harder over time, and which none of them presently deal with, as they ride the standards implemented by Chromium so far.
Additionally they would have to maintain their own extension stores, which many presently don’t.

It is much more difficult than that imo.
