Because that's off topic? I'm tired of seeing every single thread about MV3 turn into "Switch to Firefox". Yes, we know about that obvious solution, it's been shouted ad nauseum, I'm interested to see and hear about how ad blockers will work on MV3, not the existing alternative we've already heard about a billion times.
Just look at this very thread, every other comment is just about Firefox and not the content of the post itself.
Sure, I'm "preaching to the quior" here, but given Firefox's current market share, I'm not sure we've gotten the word out much beyond our circle.
The article mentioned Safari a couple of times, I don't see why the fact that Firefox will support both V2 and V3 indefinitely doesn't deserve a single mention.
Moreover, manifest V3 was essentially a massive middle finger from Google to everyone else (except advertisers), and it feels almost dishonest to discuss it wothout mentioning that there are better options out there.

I can guarantee you that the people that need to be converter won't be reading this article, any more than they will be visiting HN.

Hmm, I only see it mentioned once, and it makes sense in context, because Safari suffers from the same Declarative API issue (they actually did it long before chrome did).
> it feels almost dishonest to discuss it wothout mentioning that there are better options out there
Again, that discussion has been had ad nauseum, nothings being contributed by mentioning it again.
