Probably because it's a browser wrapped in a crypto wallet, and there is virtually no use case for cryptocurrencies that are not powered by scams or crime.
I'm not saying there couldn't be, but so far, the entire ecosystem is just burning gigawatts of energy to sell jpegs of monkeys.
Oh yeah, and it removes ads from web pages and then shows its own. I'm always surprised people aren't more offended by that.
