It's been puzzling to me just how slow developers have been to adopt v3. Even right now if you look at a brand new extension created yesterday, or read a chrome extension tutorial from last week...they completely ignore the new manifest requirements.

And Google has been clear for a very long time that v2 was being phased out, so what gives? Laziness? Inertia?

I worked on a v3 extension earlier this year, and the docs were still half baked and missing a lot of features, often hand waving links to v2 docs.

I dream of a day when enough people stop chasing the new shiny thing, and development churn returns to a more sensible and sustainable pace.

either there's a lack of proper documentation, developers unaware of the newer version, lack of interest within the company, or all of those.
