**Update:** See below in the thread for their clarification.
The more people who use blink, the greater Google’s control over the standards. Web standards are voted on and controlled by the W3C, a group google is a part of. Google doesn’t have ultimate power over this group, but it does have the largest web browser. It can use this to chose what technology is used by consumers, and having a lot of people using a technology gives it a much better chance of being elevated.
When it comes to extensions, relying on adblocking from your browser completely removes the community aspects of ublock, you are giving all that power to a single entity. And using user scripts instead of well established, and vetted, extensions sounds like a security nightmare.
