I was optimistically hoping some of the MV3 changes would result in Chrome webstore policy enforcement being standardized, but that hasn't happened.

Sensor Tower (https://sensortower.com/) makes a lot of popular extensions, like StayFocusd https://www.stayfocusd.com/. They seem to resell ad data (in violation of [1]?) and ship likely obfuscated code [2] (in violation of [3]?), but there's no enforcement or even clear reporting mechanism.
