It's also completely misleading and perhaps willfully so.
The limit's been raised. The removed API is used by half of all detected malicious extensions to spy on users. Ad blockers will continue to work fine with the new API, just like they do on Safari now.

It feels to me that this is just asking for the abuse of power. I don't think the specific number itself is anyones primary concern.
