What is this article talking about? The company I currently work at has a chrome extension that I am involved with developing. We have been on manifest v3 (MV3) pretty much since it was released. We are able to release updates daily, or even more frequently if we wanted to.

The review process is really only for the initial publishing, and all other releases are available within minutes. The only time it might take a day or more to be available is if we update the permissions we are using.

Also, MV2 had very similar requirements already for the review process, so I really don’t know what this article is getting at.
