1. Because it's most popular. Guaranteed support and "monkey see monkey do".
2. The adblocking is preconfigured, and non technical users trying to find the right extensions has a very bad history of unintentional malware. Ad block? Adblock plus? Ublock? Ublock origin? This is a great example of what floors a lot of technical folk who would be "why not just install ublock origin" and fail to understand the "why should I when I can just get Brave one and it works"

3. Most people don't use macs
Librewolf meets 2 and 3 (it comes with ublock origin preinstalled), but admittedly fails 1 quite badly.
Not everyone is on Mac. In fact, most people use Windows. So Safari and Ladybird are out of the question, that's two gone.
They mentioned the built-in adblock
Brave is has pre-configured as block that works on everything, also a polished sync experience.
Vivaldi's sync experience is nice as well. Top notch customization too.
Vivaldi is often behind on chromium security patch. In fact they are right now.
I started with Vivaldi. Was unstable in my experience. Constant crashes.
