Tampermonkey still works fine with MV3

The most popular software/hardware will always pander to the most users. That’s why they’re the most popular.
You can’t complain about the most popular option pandering to the most users. Well, you can complain, but you might be in the minority of the users.

I get that, but we are running so much untrusted code on our machines now. Applications that use thousands of dependencies with the hope that someone spots a bad actor.
The prohibitions against running code dynamically are quite severe. It took a long long time & there's some work to make sure userscript/contrntScript extensions aren't totally shit out of luck (after years and years of delay & nothing), but whole domains of extension - anything where you run code on the fly - have been outlawed.
