Brave has perverse incentives to discontinue it because of their BAT crypto business model that rewards looking at ads.

Unfortunately even the fully open source Firefox isn't immune to the pressure from the advertising industry, with all their Google funding and their purchase of anonym.

What's the big deal? Brave's native adblocker works pretty well.

I do, but even though they're not in the webpage itself and are as such not affected by the adblocker, brave still has an interest in the advertising industry. Many if not most of their advertising clients would use regular internet ads as well.
