Easy for the Brave CEO to say they keep ManifestV2 support while these enterprise flags in the Chromium codebase are still present. Once these flags are removed, and the code is removed, and then the internal APIs to support the ManifestV2 code is removed it becomes a whole other thing.
You can try to keep the code, but every upstream code change becomes more painful to integrate. It is going to cost more and more, requiring more and more expertise with the Chromium codebase, like it is some kind of technical debt. Not even counting the potential security issues you can introduce by keeping the code alive, with Brave being a target that is large enough to matter for hackers but perhaps too small for security researchers.
