I saw V2 extensions will be disabled but in my lack of webdev experience I fail to point to what is prohibitive in V3 that uBlock Origin cannot migrate to.
Anyone have a better understanding and can clue us in?

It won't allow the extension access to the requests. This is good for securityin general, but that's kinda important to what ad blockers do.
The replacement is that they can provide the browser with a list of rules to block. The problem is that there is a max length to that list that is something like 1/3 of the current block list.
What is to prevent the chrome developers from selectivity bypassing the content of the block list in the future?
There already is µblock that's only MV3 based https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/ublock-origin-lite/ give it a try if you see any difference
It's reported to be a declarative block list that's already vastly powerless compared to regular ublock. Its presence shouldn't give you a false sense of security. One thing that is sure to happen is that its capabilities will be gutted in the long run - perhaps by just bypassing the blocks.
