      Unless it’s literally no effort to maintain extensions that use both, a large portion of maintainers will develop what has the largest market share.

      Either this backfires, and Firefox ends up having the better extensions using v2 manifest, or new extensions will be developed with the limitations of v3 and Firefox users will have an unnecessarily neutered experience as Chrome users.
