Note that Google's collection doesn't seem to include all of their extensions. For example, they are missing Google Voice, Google Dictionary, Send from Gmail, Page Analytics, Google Tone, Chrome Web Store Launcher, RSS Subscription Extension, Google Scholar Button, IBA Opt-out, Google Mail Checker, Google Similar Pages, Endpoint Verification, Chrome Remote Desktop, Chromebook Recovery Utility, Certificate Enrollment for Chrome OS, Screen Reader, Print, Google Docs Offline, and I'm sure there are plenty of other Google extensions that I missed in my search. Some of them have been abandoned for a number of years.

Also, this site [1] has been tracking Manifest V3 migration, but I think they might be incorrectly including Apps and Themes in their counts (I believe the 180K figure represents all of the items on the store [2]) which might be throwing off the numbers a bit.

Back in my day attaching Google’s name to a product was a positive development. Remember GMail?

“Unmitigated shitshow” is the only thing that comes to mind today.

What tech giveth, tech taketh away.

This is so true. They even closed down their IoT core for pennies.

Google = unreliable as business partners and more shitty every day anyway.

It's almost like they have an incorrect corporate reward function, that their employees are then optimizing...

Honestly, I would say it's more "what tech giveth, greed taketh away."
