You're absolutely right, but not everybody understands the consequences.

Mozilla/Gecko is on life support with no light at the end of the tunnel. When the ex-CTO of Mozilla picks Chromium to run Brave, and Microsoft picks Chromium for Edge, things become pretty clear: Chromium/V8 is the standard. And not just the standard, also the superior, future-proof engine.

So yes, Brave gets a lot of things "for free", but that's a smart move. Ultimately users and developers don't care.

Brave was originally based on Gecko, for what it's worth.

I did not know that, that makes it even more painful.
