Follow the links in the first paragraph of the article, they go into details about the technical aspects of why Manifest V3 is harmful to users.
It's disappointing to see this sentiment again, as this has been Google's tactic in the past decade: feign innocence and initiate technical discussions, then move goalposts and start over until their opponents are exhausted.
When we first heard of Manifest V3, it took them months to find a ridiculous reason for no longer allowing proper control over requests in Chrome, and they kept jumping between performance, privacy and security, as researchers refuted all their technical arguments one by one.
By now there is nothing left to discuss, they'd just need to stop being malicious.

I briefly looked at the Privacy Sandbox proposal page a while back in late 2020 to figure out what it was all about, but haven't really got anything on researchers refuting their technical arguments.
