Malicious extensions, as well as the ability to block the browser vendor’s ads still pose a problem to these groups to be solved.

Except Apple who don’t have the incentive of browser advertising and are currently selling privacy as one benefit of choosing their hardware (and by extension their software and browser [safari])

Mozilla make money from Google deals and so have outside incentives to not rock the boat too hard on this detail.

Keep in mind that Safari has enough restrictions that uBlock Origin developers decided to stop supporting it, so ad-blocking is pretty poor there.
