Patrick, thank you for responding 🙏
2. I understand. But this warning came in the time of inline installation. It was a crazy time. I understand what Chrome was struggling with back then.
But I don't understand what Chrome is struggling with now.
Why isn't this warning enough for extensions that change the new tab -

Other than that, separate attention should be paid to which answer option in the dialog Chrome highlights as the preferred one -

So far it looks, not as a care for users or developers, but as a care for the interests of Chrome. I myself have worked in the browser and know how important the new browser tab is. For the same reason, many browsers (Opera, Yandex, etc) prohibit overriding it altogether.
However, Chrome has always been the most open and fair platform. And I hope this is just a relic of the past that was forgotten to be removed.
