The problem is that something pejorative on the surface is only meaningful to an end-user that is intimately familiar with the limitations of ManifestV3.
If you titled an adblocker "uBlock Crippled Edition", you might be protesting Google, but the unfamiliar end-user is just going to see it and think, "Well I certainly don't want a crippled adblocker! Let me just grab one of these numerous others from the appstore that claims it's 100% effective."

You don't need to be "intimately familiar" with the limitations of ManifestV3, a casual understanding, from perhaps an explanatory note in the description of the extension, is sufficient to understand such a name.
