The core issue is that those ad blockers are easy to defeat. The only reason ad companies haven't invested energy in defeating them (yet) is because they're not popular enough.

Once they are the only option in Chrome, it's just a matter of time until Chrome becomes largely useless at blocking ads.

ublock origin lite is mv3 compatible and not nearly as good at blocking ads as the original, for instance.
