But the way chrome implemented them on Windows makes them the perfect tool for social engineering, sneaking advertisement into windows and other malicious use cases.
Worse the controls for disabling them had been a complete UX nightmare last time I took a look at it (both in FF and Chrome; nightmare as in inexperienced users will have issues doing so) making it even more perfect for abuse.
And instead of fixing that Google decided to make it semi unusable for many proper use-cases (and FF didn't fix that either).
To top that off last time I tried to use them they didn't work on Firefox no idea if that was my firewall, uBlock, Firefox or the websites fault.
