I wouldn't say that's particularly surprising. Most people in Lemmy and similar platforms have been here since the mass exodus from Reddit, or are programmers themselves. These groups are usually more privacy-minded, and see this as a significant privacy issue. This doesn't really necessarily mean it's an echo chamber though, I've seen a lot of people talk about how they use and like Windows, and I think the reason why they downvoted your comment (making an assumption here, I don't see downvotes in my instance) is because it seems to be completely unprompted by anything or anyone, and a bit abrasive.

What does that have to do with echo chambers, exactly?
I really don't see how supporting Manifest V3 is a problem. It's still going to be used by many extension developers, and there's no harm in its availability as long as you can still block WebRequest, which is currently the case. On the Mozilla taking Google's money point, sure, that's true, but it doesn't seem to have affected too much of the browser, other than search defaults abd a few other things that can be very easily turned off or removed entirely. I wouldn't say the chances are particularly high for Manifest V2 to be completely removed, personally.
