You're right to the extent of how Brave/Opera/Vivaldi implemented their own blockers (I have no idea myself), but when we talk about codebase as large as Chromium's, it's very easy to miss things. Not even in a 'conspiracy' sense (e.g. something malicious stuck in a crucial binary blob inherited from Google, IIRC Chromium still has those despite their years of effort), just a simple, honest mistake. Frankly, I recommend Pi-hole/hostfiles regardless of browser. It just makes things easier in the long run.
