My comment was poorly worded, of course they can be built and run. I just feel like the extra hoops one would have to go through, finding a build or building from source (which is a very power-user use case) would be disqualifying it from being considered a mainstream choice available to the masses.
But yes, that is fair.

The Chromium project does maintain an official alternative to those: download-chromium.appspot.com. I think it's discoverable via documentation on chromium.org albeit perhaps (I don't remember) not from the main download page.
(Disclosure: I work at Google on Chrome.)

or even easier:
choco install chromium
choco install ungoogled-chromium
and if you want extensions the easy way in ungoogled-chromium :
I'm not sure exactly what you mean by that. chromium.org doesn't offer chroimium builds on their website but there are a number of places you can get someone elses build, for example https://chromium.woolyss.com/ or https://github.com/macchrome/winchrome/tree/master or presumably just build it yourself if you wanted to.
