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?
