It's annoying, but Brave makes it pretty easy to remove, so you only have to do it once per installation.

As far as I am concerned, this is more about Brave going through a vetting process and an independent build than only turning off annoyances.

Indeed. It's basically like trying to get them into Debian main repo. If it works, then it's truly free.
